76-Hour M.Div. Degree Program

Have you ever considered pursuing a Master of Divinity degree but just weren't sure if you could commit the time and financial resources to such an undertaking? If so, we'd like to introduce you to the new 76 credit hour NTS M.Div. degree.

After critical evaluation, this cornerstone of vocational ministry training was redesigned from the ground up as a more flexible and affordable curriculum that proves no less formational. Whether you're preparing for future ministry opportunities or already engaged in a local ministry context, the new M.Div. at NTS will provide the theological and practical framework for you to become a more effective and faithful minister of the Gospel.

BASED ON CURRENT TUITION RATES,
THIS REDUCTION IN HOURS IS EQUAL
TO A SAVINGS (PROGRAM-WIDE) OF $5,600!
