Overview

The Master of Divinity coursework at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary offers deep integration between classical theological disciplines and the missional nature of ministry. Throughout this seminary degree program, we encourage students to engage in deep theological reflection that considers historical and current contexts.

Careers

In addition to ordained pastoral ministry in both new and historic congregations, graduates of our Master of Divinity program have gone on to pursue further graduate study at seminaries or use their degree in lay ministry contexts.

Some have become denominational leaders, mission workers, or chaplains in military, hospital, hospice, and prison settings. Still others have managed non-profit organizations, become church planters, and explored other entrepreneurial work. A seminary degree can lead to a variety of careers, and our M.Div. graduates are well-prepared to serve God in many ways!
