The Th.M is essentially a non-residential research degree. It is ideal for the person who would like a stepping-stone to a doctoral degree (especially a European Ph.D that has no course requirements) or who would like a research degree over and above his or her Master of Divinity, but intends to go no further.
Students must complete 34 semester hours of academic credit. A master's thesis on an approved topic within the field of Biblical Studies is required. This thesis must demonstrate high standards of scholarship and writing. Further details may be obtained from the registrar. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Entrance into the degree is dependent upon an overall B+ average or higher in the preceding degree, which should be the Master of Divinity or its equivalent. |
| Additional Admission Requirements: | - Letter(s) of Reference
- Statement of Research Interests
