The University Of Dubuque Theological Seminary
For Christ's church and God's beloved world...
a seminary community that joins you where you are.
Wherever you are in the world and in your educational journey, UDTS is ready to equip you to grow and serve. With a commitment to grassroots communities of faith, and 20 years of hybrid and online experience, UDTS can meet you by many means:
- 8-week online certificate (Christian leadership) classes are filled with content completely updated in 2024 from our top faculty. These are open enrollment, or offered in a co-branded approach for particular cohorts such as in a presbytery or synod. A CRE could complete eight core topics in as little as nine months.
- The 30 credit online Master of Arts in Ministry can be adapted to your needs. Examples include CRE's who would like to earn an abbreviated degree, congregational and mid-council staff seeking theological training, pastors transferring from other denominations.
- Low-residency Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in Mission and Discipleship, and Master of Arts in Reformed Theology degrees enable participants to study and be formed by a seminary community connected across the country and world. Anchored by an annual two week residency, study flexibly and semi-synchronously from the context of your current home and ministry.
- Close communities of growth mark UDTS' D.Min. cohorts and a residential M.Div. program.
