Feb 20, 2015 · Generally speaking, the ThD requires more education. A typical path to a PhD would be an undergraduate degree, a graduate degree of as little as 30 hours (though typically 36-45), then a PhD of roughly 60 hours. A typical path to a ThD would be an undergraduate degree, a MDiv (72-90 hours), a ThM (another 36-45) hours, then the ThD (36-60 hours).

Jun 29, 2004 · The Master's Seminary offers a ThD. Just to get in requires a four year USA sort of masters, ie, the 120 plus unit ThM, the passing of five four hour (each) tests, Greek and Hebrew. Eventually the student must also demonstrate ability in two additional languages. This Masters Seminary ThD degree certainly is not less in time or rigor than any PhD.

Jul 4, 2004 · Unlike some US ThD programs, as The Master's Seminary, which requires the four year RA or ATS ThM as a prereq, Unizul will admit one into the DTh with only a MA sort of masters. However, Unizul does require the prereq for both for the D Phil and the DTh of a prior "scientific" thesis (they say dissertation).

Sep 9, 2024 · Andersonville - ThD Requires a specific Masters degree for entrance that has four classes of Greek in addition to other coursework and a thesis.

Oct 25, 2003 · I'm looking for a good DL program that would accept my unaccredited M.S.L degree. While the college I received my M.S.L. from is pursuing accreditation from AABC my degree will probably not be considered accredited by the time the process is completed. I am looking for programs such as a PhD in Biblical Studies, DMIN, or a ThD.

Oct 26, 2004 · At a real seminary, Dave, such a requirement would be far more appropriate for the DMin degree than for the ThD.
