Southeastern provides the finest theological training and educational preparation for the ministry, with studies ranging from graduate to postgraduate. Our faculty and staff have come from around the nation and the globe to equip students for work in the Kingdom.

The school offers the master of divinity degree with several specializations as a first professional degree for Christian ministers. The seminary also offers several related master of arts programs.
 
Postgraduate level work includes a professional doctorate (doctor of ministry) and three advanced research degrees (master of theology, doctor of education and doctor of philosophy).

The traditional master of divinity program is designed to prepare pastors, missionaries and other Christian workers for a life of effective kingdom service. The ministry track supports both academic and practical ministry interests. Within three academic years of full-time attendance, the program prepares Christian ministers for Kingdom service by enabling them to gain a basic understanding of Scripture, theology and the Christian worldview.

The master of arts program is designed to equip persons for ministry in each respective specialization either vocationally or as lay persons in a church or para-church organization. The program is designed to be completed in a minimum of two academic years beginning with a fall semester.

Southeastern's advanced degree programs equip serious students for a high level of professional competence in ministry. The programs provide opportunities for advanced study in interdisciplinary courses, seminars and clinical settings and combines academic study and practical application under faculty and field supervisors.

Students will find this postgraduate training to be both academically challenging and professionally rewarding. Each of the advanced degree programs has different eligibility and degree requirements. Please follow the various links on the left to learn more.
