Introduction

The Combined Master of Arts/Master of Divinity degree program offered by the Jesuit School of Theology in cooperation with the Graduate Theological Union. It is a program that allows students to integrate a primarily ministerial degree with a more specialized academic degree program. The M.Div. degree program provides a strong theological foundation with the goal of preparing students for ministry and leadership in the Roman Catholic Church. The Master of Arts is an academic degree which requires students to determine an area of concentration and submit a thesis.

Students who elect to do a Combined M.A./M.Div. program must formally apply to each program separately, indicating the intent to pursue a Combined M.A./M.Div. degree program on both applications.

**Applicants to the JST Master of Divinity program should follow the M.Div. Application Checklist  and submit applications to the Jesuit School of Theology Office of Admissions.
