Master of Divinity (M.Div.)
Harvard Divinity School
The Master of Divinity degree is a three-year graduate degree program that prepares graduates for ministry, chaplaincy, and a range of other careers that center around service and ethical leadership. The education of learned ministers has been central to the mission of Harvard since its founding. Recognizing that the world is a religiously plural place, M.Div. students of many faith communities study side by side in order to foster a greater understanding of interreligious dialogue and work. Graduating M.Div. students leave Harvard Divinity School ready to serve within a religious community, to explore the spiritually formative dimension of intellectual work, and to support the needs of communities and mission-driven organizations.
