Students in these specializations are well prepared to move towards vocational ministries, advanced degree studies and membership within professional associations.

Master of Theological StudiesThis two-year degree program prepares students with broad-based foundations for life and effectiveness in general ministry settings. Students may also pursue advanced degree studies after completing their Master of Theological Studies. Heritage Seminary also offers a one-year Certificate in Theological Studies and a two-year Diploma in Pastoral Studies
and Leadership.

Multi-Modal Course Schedule

This new format will involve only two days of in-class participation during a semester, with the rest of the instruction and interactions being completed online through audio lectures and threaded discussions. The lectures are scheduled for either Fridays (afternoon and evening) or Saturdays (morning and afternoon) and are grouped to allow students
to complete two courses with two on-campus visits. The following is the proposed schedule of courses that would allow a student to complete a Master of Theological Studies degree utilizing this new format.
