Master of Divinity

Illinois | Online

TEDS’ Master of Divinity (MDiv) provides comprehensive biblical, theological, cultural, and practical training to those desiring preparation for Christian ministerial or academic leadership, all within the context of a broadly evangelical ethos.

Whether you desire an immersive academic experience on campus or choose to continue in your current ministry and take courses online, you will be prepared in Scripture interpretation, theology, pastoral practices, leadership, preaching, and spiritual formation.

MDiv alumni have gone on to a wide variety of vocational pursuits, including pastors, denominational leaders, scholars, authors, community development leaders, and missionary workers in many different contexts to engage the world for Christ.

Why TEDS?

Trinity is a broadly evangelical school that prides itself on theological diversity and encourages respectful engagement in difficult conversations and topics while remaining committed to the authority of Scripture. Since our founding, we have taught creative and critical thinking while upholding gospel fidelity in an effort to fulfill the age-old adage, “in the essentials unity, in the non-essentials liberty, and in all things charity.” The Trinity faculty is among the most widely published in evangelical academia and has deeply influenced the leaders shaping the present and future of evangelical Christianity across the globe.

You’ll want to see the general admissions requirements for all students. Specific to the MDiv are the following general prerequisites; see full prerequisites for further specific details:

1. A minimum GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale is preferred, though not necessarily required.
2. Scores from the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or Miller Analogies Test (MAT) are required if your GPA is less than 2.5 or if the Admissions Office requests them.
3. A demonstrated working knowledge of the English Bible (this can be demonstrated after admission through either some specific coursework or the Standard Bible Content Test).
4. Applicants with prior Greek or Hebrew experience may be able to take the Greek Proficiency Exam or the Hebrew Proficiency Exam; these allow you to place further along in the language courses. You don’t need to know Greek or Hebrew to be accepted into the MDiv; we will teach you!
