Program Details

The Master of Arts in Reformed Baptist Studies is a program designed to equip students with the essentials of Reformed Baptist theology.  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.

BDiv to MDiv Opportunity


A limited number of qualified BDiv students are provided the opportunity to enter the MDiv program without completing a bachelor degree.

Students who meet the following criteria may apply to enter the MDiv program:
1. Student must be at least 30 years old.
2. Student must have completed at least 50% of the BDiv program.
3. Student must have a minimum GPA of 3.3.
4. Student must agree to complete at least 12 credit-hours/year in the MDiv program.

Please note that the above-listed criteria are minimum requirements for application to the program. As this program is space limited, the possibility exists that students who meet the criteria above may still be unsuccessful in their application to the BDiv to MDiv opportunity.
