General Theological Education

MASTER OF THEOLOGICAL STUDIES

The Master of Theological Studies (MTS) is a two-year degree program in the academic study of general theological education. It is an introductory program of studies that has been designed both to provide a general understanding of the Christian faith and to permit students some focus on themes and issues of personal and social relevance, while allowing for maximum flexibility. The MTS also constitutes a basis for further graduate studies in theology. It may be completed entirely on a part-time basis. The Faculty of Divinity has no specific expectations of its students seeking general theological education in relation to Spiritual Formation, and welcomes full participation by all students in all of its liturgical and community activities.

In addition to completing the MTS requirements, students may additionally qualify for the designation “with concentration in Orthodox and Eastern Christian studies” upon graduation from the Faculty of Divinity at Trinity College provided that a minimum of 12 courses are from courses in Orthodox studies.
