Master of Divinity

At Capital Seminary and Graduate School, we offer a Master of Divinity (MDiv) program that will provide you with more than just the credentials to get you where you want to go. By the time you graduate from Capital, you will have spent as many hours preparing for ministry in the 21st century as you will have spent learning theology and the biblical languages. After all, what good is our ancient faith if we can't effectively teach and reach a modern church, culture, and world?

The Master of Divinity (MDiv) at Capital Seminary and Graduate School is a uniquely balanced program designed to produce the competencies necessary to lead from a biblical worldview.
