The course of study is designed specifically for, but not limited to students who have already completed an MDiv degree at another institution but desire to gain a deeper understanding of distinctively Reformed Baptist doctrine and practice.
A total of 30 credit hours is necessary to complete this curriculum, which students are expected to complete within 3 years. This curriculum includes courses from the four branches of the Encyclopedia of Theology.
