Master of Theology (ThM)

The ThM degree is the highest graduate-level academic degree available at Grace. The ThM degree is 29 credits beyond the MDiv (for a total of 124 credits). Most coursework is in biblical languages and research, culminating in the thesis, the capstone project. The ThM also prepares students to enter post-graduate (doctoral) research programs such as a PhD or ThD. This degree is also beneficial for those who desire to teach in an academic institution and/or who desire to be more effective in their teaching and preaching ministry.
