Degree Programs

UDTS offers three graduate theological degree programs: the Master of Divinity (MDiv), the Master of Arts in Mission and Discipleship (MAMD), and the Doctor of Ministry (DMin). The MDiv roots leaders in the Scriptures, tradition, and practices of the church with an overarching focus on building missional communities that form fervent disciples. The MAMD trains followers of Jesus to empower others to join in God's mission in a variety of settings. The DMin is designed to equip pastors for congregational renewal.
