Masters degree in Divinity Military/Institutional Chaplaincy at Assemblies of God Theological Seminary

The M.Div. degree is the flagship degree for theological education and ministerial training. It provides a thorough education across the theological disciplines of biblical studies, theology, Church history, missions and practical theology to furnish men and women for pastoral leadership in church ministry, as well as providing an academic specialty that prepares students for continued graduate work in Ph.D. and D.Min. programs. At AGTS, the M.Div. degree requires 90 credits of study in four major components.

Military/Institutional Chaplaincy Track (39 credits)
The training of chaplains for service in military and other institutional settings has been a high priority for AGTS since our founding in 1972. As a result, AGTS has a very large number of graduates serving in chaplaincy positions and a wonderful reputation in the U.S. armed forces. We train more military chaplains than any seminary in the United States, and the large group of chaplaincy candidates at AGTS creates a community of learning that is unique and ideal for creating a network of relationships that will persist for decades of future ministry.
The following track provides a course of studies that is specifically designed to prepare chaplains for the wide range of duties and skills required in military/institutional ministry.
