Master's Degree Programs

Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School offers three degree programs, all shaped by the faculty vision statement, and each with its own distinctive scope and purpose.

Master’s Degree Programs

• The Master of Divinity for Theological Professions degree (M.Div.) is the most versatile, all-purpose degree. It is the primary degree leading to ordination for professional ministry. It also may prepare students for church administration, chaplaincy, youth work, teaching in colleges or theological schools, missions and evangelism, social work and more.
• The Master of Arts in Theological Studies degree (M.A.) is to prepare students for advanced graduate study in a specific theological discipline.
• The Master of Arts in Religious Studies (M.A.)  is designed to educate the laity who want a general knowledge of Christian religion, interfaith dialogue, and the historic/cultural contexts that affect religious belief and practice.
