Program Options

Seminary builds on the foundation you may have received as an undergraduate ministry student. If you took upper division credits in Bible, theology or ministry, you may qualify for advanced standing, which will give you a jump start on your program requirements.

The M.Div. at Corban has both a Church Ministry track and a Biblical Languages track, so you can choose your courses based on your ministry needs. Each concentration is designed to take you deeper in the Word and grow your knowledge and understanding.

The Church Ministry concentration provides the educational base to pursue a Doctor of Ministry degree and gives a deeper look into various aspects of ministry.

The Biblical Languages concentration provides the educational base to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy degree by including study in Greek and Hebrew. (Language classes are available on campus only.)
