1. The J.D./M.Div. is a five-year (ten-semester) degree program which includes both a clinical and an academic component and is primarily, though not exclusively, intended for those who are interested in combining their law degree with ministry. A J.D./M.Div. student must spend five semesters each in the School of Law and the School of Theology. The student may begin her or his program in either school and must attend that school for the entire first year; the second year is spent in the other school. During the remaining three years, or six semesters, of the program, a student must be registered in each school for three semesters but may take course work in both schools, regardless of residency, during any given semester. To obtain the J.D./M.Div., a student must earn 79 hours of credit in law and 70 hours in theology. In addition, a candidate must maintain the minimum grade point average for each school and fulfill all curricular requirements as set forth by their degree programs.
2. The J.D./M.T.S. is a four-year (eight semester) degree program designed for those who intend to pursue a primary vocation in law, but who are also interested in academic work in theology. This joint degree program requires 79 credit hours (five semesters) of law and 39 credit hours (three semesters) of theology, as well as completion of all curricular requirements in each school. A candidate may begin his or her study in either school and must spend the entire year in residence. The second year is spent in the other school. During the final two years, a student is required to be registered in the School of Law for three semesters and in the School of Theology for one semester, and may take courses in both schools, regardless of residency.
