Master of Divinity

The Master of Divinity degree program prepares students to be faithful and effective pastors in the church as it ministers to the world. The M.Div. requires the equivalent of three years of study plus a year-long full-time internship in a congregation.

This degree can be completed by a combination of residential study, distance learning, and learning in context. For more information visit our admissions site, contact the Office of Admissions, 651-641-3521, admissions@luthersem.edu.

We have a significant group of students that are studying to be Pastors in the church and are choosing to concentrate their elective courses in CYF Ministry. The M.Div. student will take three of their elective courses and their education course requirement in the concentration of CYF and YM (Youth Ministry) course offerings.

Many more details are found in our academic catalog.

Congregations need theologically trained ministers who can be there for whole congregations.
