The Center for Advanced Theological Studies prepares women and men for teaching and academic ministries by offering programs in a broad range of theological disciplines for both the Master of Theology (ThM) and the Doctor of Philosophy in Theology (PhD) degrees. Within the context of evangelical faith, a committed community of scholars aims to serve the worldwide church of Jesus Christ by contributing significantly to theological scholarship in general and to evangelical scholarship both in academic and church settings.
Led by Dr. Joel Green, associate dean, the Graduate Faculty consists of scholars who have distinguished themselves in research, publication, graduate teaching and supervision. A diverse and international group of students engages in graduate work at the highest levels of scholarship, research, and reflection.
The breadth of the degree programs is reflected in the available concentration options:
- Old Testament
- New Testament
- Church History
- Historical Theology
- Theology
- Christian Ethics
- Philosophy of Religion
- Philosophical Theology
- Practical Theology
- Theology and Culture
