2. Master of Divinity 목회학석사(MDiv) Introduction

2. Master of Divinity/목회학석사(MDiv)과정

Introduction The Master of Divinity (MDiv) is a three-year program especially designed for those who are pre-paring for pastoral ministry and/or other Christian ministries. An important characteristic of the MDiv program is the nature of its comprehensive study in the biblical, theological, and practical ar-eas with exegesis of Scripture in the original languages (Hebrew and Greek). The MDiv is also ap-propriate for those who desire to pursue ThM or PhD degrees.

Professional Teacher Certificate

• You can find the up-to-date and detailed information about this certificate pro-

gram at http://www.ttgu.ac.kr/index.php?mid=board_YHcl60 (ACSI 2021 Applica-

tion Packet).

• Please note that although the ACSI certificate program is a voluntary and optional

program—in addition to and separate from MDiv—all MDiv students can pursue

the ACSI certificate if their schedule is flexible, since we have our own MACE and

MEd programs in which all ACSI courses are offered.

❖ Here are some procedural considerations:

(1) To be enrolled in this program, you need to register through Torch Trinity Center

for Education and Ministry (TTCEM), which coordinates the ACSI program.

(2) Students need to take 5 ACSI courses (15 credits) in addition to Educational Min-

istry (3 credits) and Christian Counseling Ministry (3 credits).

(3) Since all or most ACSI courses are offered primarily for the MACE and MEd stu-

dents, the MDiv students might face some difficulty in terms of class schedule

conflicts. In such a case, you should take the MDiv courses first and wait for the

same ACSI class to be offered next time (ACSI courses are usually offered in an

annual cycle).

(4) If you find it impossible to fulfill all the ACSI requirements before your graduation,

you may return and complete the ACSI program after the graduation

(cont’d next page)
