Masters degree in Divinity Practical Theology 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.

Practical Theology Track (39 credits)
