Interested in an Advanced Level Theology Degree that will help you sharpen your professional skills or prepare you for academic teaching and research?


The LTSP Graduate School offers the advanced-level degree programs of Master of Sacred Theology (STM), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), and Doctor of Ministry (DMin). Whether academic or professional in their nature, these programs are designed to assist in the development of a more effective ministry and to engage in academic reflection and research at a theological seminary that is committed to being publicly engaged in and with the world.

The Doctor of Ministry and Master of Sacred Theology programs offer students the ability to work directly with faculty members in a wide variety of disciplines suited to the needs of the student. The programs offer flexible schedules and are designed for to those who are actively working in ministry.  We provide special opportunities in the DMin Program for U.S. Military Chaplains (active or reserve).

What are students saying about our DMin/STM
Graduate Intensive Courses?

"The ability to have a one-week intensive worked into my schedule much better than other institutions where they have a two or three week class opportunity.  Additionally, the on-line class opportunities were phenomenal!  They allowed me to complete the program in a much quicker time-frame as opposed to having to take all classes in residence."
     -- The Rev. Eugene William Schneider III (2009)


The Doctor of Philosophy degree in theology is centered on the concept of Public Theology and theological discourse with and in the world.  Interdisciplinary study allows students to engage in a variety of theological disciplines while being challenged to develop expertise in one area of research and critical scholarship.

Let us help you continue your engagement with the world.
