The Master of Theology (ThM) is a pre-doctoral, capstone master’s degree designed for future PhD work. It focuses on advanced topics in theology, biblical studies, biblical languages, and Old/New Testament exegesis. For students desiring to teach at the college level, this is typically the minimum recommended degree. A student in the ThM program can choose to focus in one of several concentrations to further customize their degree.
