The Master of Divinity is a three-year degree program. As an accredited member of the Association of Theological Schools, Western Seminary requires that the equivalent of one year's courses be completed on a Western Seminary campus. That means that up to 2/3 of the degree program can be taken by distance education or advanced standing.
