Do you have real world ministry experience but lack real time to continue your development in spiritual understanding? Do you have a desire to teach God's Word and want to accelerate your preparation for doctoral work? Look no further. Western Seminary provides deep theological training, carved into a 64-hour program, focused on developing your mastery of God's Word and its mastery over your life.

The program allows you to fast-track into the Master of Theology (Th.M) and presents the opportunity for subsequent entrance to doctoral studies. You may focus on doing in-depth study and interpretation of Scripture through original language focused courses. Or, you can emphasize the theoretical concepts in theology and practical skills through extensive upper division electives in systematic theology taught by top professors from around the country. Either way, we know the choice will come with a life altering experience for you and the lives you continue to touch.
