Master of Theology

The purpose of Southeastern’s Master of Theology degree program is to provide the post-MDiv student with an opportunity for advanced, guided research under the supervision of a faculty member in a special area of theological study. Some students choose this program to enhance their academic qualifications for post-graduate or doctoral studies. Other students choose this program primarily to extend their preparation for ministry in a local church, on the mission field or in other positions of denominational service. The ThM is designed to build leaders through personal mentoring by the faculty and through advanced study.

Program Courses

I absolutely loved studying in the Master of Theology program. After finishing a master's degree, it was the perfect next step to dive deeper into an area of study that I was interested in. I loved being able to take more specialized classes that I wouldn't otherwise have taken as part of my initial master's degree, and I learned so much through the process of researching and writing.
