Our flagship degree, the Master of Divinity degree, is designed to give you comprehensive training in all aspects of Christian ministry, including Biblical studies and languages, theology, church history, preaching and teaching, pastoral counseling and administration, liturgics, and practical theology. The M.Div. is a rigorous program that can be completed in three years of full-time study and gives you first-rate preparation for many forms of ordained and lay ministry, such as parish ministry, military or hospital chaplaincy, and Christian education or discipleship. Most of our faculty have extensive pastoral experience and apply it directly in the classroom and help you apply your assignments to ministerial endeavors. M.Div. students who excel in the program are invited to participate in the honors program thesis option, which is also good preparation for further writing or theological study at higher levels.

Certificates are awarded to students who complete 18 credits of study in one of the focused theological or ministerial disciplines. They represent a significant commitment of specialization and competence in a particular area. RES offers certificates in Anglican Theology, Biblical Languages, Biblical Theology Level 1 and Biblical Theology Level 2, Dogmatic Theology, Historical Theology, Church Planting, Old Testament Theology, New Testament Theology, Pastoral Theology Level 1 and Pastoral Theology Level 2.

The Master of Arts Theological Studies at RES is a more academically focused degree than the Master of Divinity, and is designed for those whose vocations lie more in the realms of teaching, research, and writing or those who want to begin theological training but are discerning how they will put that training to use. The M.A. program can be completed in a little over a year . Students choose an option in either Anglican Theology or Christian Education. M.A. students who excel in the program are invited to participate in the honors program thesis option, which is excellent preparation for those who feel God calling them to theological study at the highest levels.
