Military Chaplaincy

For individuals called to service in our nation's military, the School of Divinity offers a program that prepares students for both the rigor and academic requirements of a military chaplaincy. For students that are active military or classified as a reservist on active duty, the school also offers a tuition discount of up to 25 percent.

Candidates for chaplaincy typically pursue the M.A. in Practical Theology (Military Chaplaincy track) or the Master of Divinity. Applicants to either program are required to have a regionally accredited bachelor's degree (see 'Admission Requirements') in any area of study, the degree is not required to be in theology, bible or religious studies.

For chaplains and others seeking the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree, hours earned from Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) may be transferred to help meet elective requirements of the program.

Special discounts are available for students enrolled in the Army National Guard Chaplain Candidate program. More details »
