  ST. HILDEGARD'S THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY STUDY, PRAY, SERVE

Degree Programs

At present we offer only one course of study: The Master of Divinity Program. To enter the Master's Programs, you must hold an accredited Bachelor's Degree. 
​
It is possible to take courses that interest you and to decide later, after taking some course work, that you wish to pursue an academic degree. In order to enter a degree program formally, you must apply to the seminary and submit all transcripts, including a copy of your course completion certificate from the AAOCC Seminary.

There are no additional registration fees for students in the Master of Divinity program; however, there is a one-time graduation fee of $200 which covers the cost of your diploma. 

Master of Divinity 

A Master of Divinity degree is the degree required for ordination in all major Christian denominations, including Catholicism. All AAOCC seminarians will study for their M.Div. unless alternate arrangements are made with their ordinary. 

The M.Div. degree is a 84 credit degree. If one embarks on full-time study, the degree takes approximately 3 years to complete taking courses full-time. Part-time, the degree can take much longer. 

There is no time limit in which students must complete the course work for their Master of Divinity degree. For those in the ordination program with the AAOCC, you must satisfactorily complete certain courses before you can be ordained to the diaconate and presbyterate. If you have any questions, you can speak to your Vocations Director. 

Students from other jurisdictions may also take as much time as necessary to complete their Master of Divinity Degree.

Why St. Hildegard's? 

We are offering a graduate-level education for less than 1/10th the cost of an average seminary/theological school. Once we graduate a class through our M.Div. curriculum, we can seek ATS accreditation. Once accreditation is achieved, anyone who has already received their Masters from us will automatically have their degree become accredited. At HTS, you have the opportunity to receive personal attention, low student-to-professor ratios, and an extremely low tuition for your degree while we grow into an accredited graduate institution.
