Master of Divinity

The Master of Divinity (MDiv) program is designed to empower and equip students to serve as transformational Christian leaders within today’s multicultural contexts. UUC offers the traditional ministerial skills of biblical and theological competence, effective communication, spiritual sensitivity and maturity, passion for evangelism, and pastoral care. In addition, our program offers courses in the global interconnection of the contemporary world, the importance of understanding urbanization, principles of effective leadership, organizational development skills, and social transformation. Graduates of the program will be competently equipped to serve effectively and at a professional level as ordained pastors and leaders within the contexts of churches or other Christian organizations and/or ministries.

The University subscribes to and promotes the philosophy of integrated learning. Integrated learning is a move away from memorization and recitation of isolated facts to a more active engagement of concepts and connections between ideas, self, and society.

Learning in an integrated course is not an end in itself, but is ultimately a vehicle for knowledge essential for personal and social transformation. It promotes the formation of character and values, meaning and purpose – aligned with biblical values and God’s revealed truth.

Integrated learning involves the development of the whole person. It fosters not only academic and professional development but also physical, social, emotional, moral, cultural, and religious/spiritual growth. It seeks to develop men and women who will pursue meaningful work, make important contributions to their workplaces and communities, and ultimately, glorify God and fulfill the Great Commission.
