At its core, theology engages key issues of meaning and purpose. It helps individuals and communities wrestle with the critical challenges of ethics and values. And this degree track equips students to continue the long history of theology and religion meeting culture at its most important questions. Students have used this track to pursue goals as wide ranging as interfaith care and counseling, preaching for liberation, religion and the arts, spiritual formation, and complex religious bonds. You can forge your own path, because this is a program with flexibility. You will do core studies in the Hebrew bible and New Testament, study world Christianity, and develop your own systematic theology. And you’ll take classes in Christian ethics and spiritual practices. From there the direction is yours, because religions are evolving. But the questions often repeat.

MTS students seeking Deacon’s Orders in the United Methodist Church must complete the following courses (15 credits) as electives or as part of their area of focus: 

TWP3015 기독교 예배와 예술 개론 (3학점)

TDS3001 United Methodist History (2 credits)

Some United Methodist conferences require one unit of Clinical 

 

Pastoral Education for ordination, which would count for up to 6 academic credits.  Students are strongly recommended to check with their conference regarding this ordination requirement.

 

NOTE: Since these United Methodist classes are only required for ordination and not for graduation, CST considers them “Free Electives” for master’s-level students and therefore can be passed with a grade of D-. However, that may not be sufficient according to the requirements of the Board of Ordained Ministry in a particular Annual Conference. United Methodist students should ask their Annual Conference in advance what grade is considered acceptable for meeting these course requirements.
