Program & Concentration Details

Arts, World Christianity & Marketplace Concentrations

Our Arts, World Christianity, and Marketplace concentrations draw on courses from a number of different disciplines. The following chart identifies the courses in the 2020/2021 academic year that can be applied to each concentration.

History of Christianity Concentration

If you require a 600-level HIST elective for the History of Christianity concentration in the MA in Theological Studies program, you can acquire this by taking either of the following courses:

• HIST 656 The Pastor in Historical Perspective (Fall)
• APPL 785/SPIR 785 Seminar: Spiritual Friendship (Winter)

MDiv Information

Please note the following changes to our regular annual schedule: 

• Missional Leadership (APPL 615) will not be offered this year. In its place, you may substitute 3 credit hours from any discipline.
• Pastoral Care (APPL 546) will be offered in the Winter Term this year, rather than in the Fall Term.

In addition to your regular courses, you may also want to note the following electives, each of which is highly relevant to a ministry situation.

Online Learning in 2020–2021

Regent believes strongly in embodied education. This is not merely an educational strategy, but a theological affirmation about what it means to be human. This year, we have found it necessary to balance our commitment to embodied education with the importance of guarding the health of our students, staff, and faculty. 

All courses in the Fall 2020 term will be offered entirely online. No decision has yet been made regarding on-campus courses in Winter 2021. We are committed to ensuring that online learning options remain available to our students until the end of the Summer 2021 term. We look forward to resuming on-campus courses as soon as circumstances permit.

While courses are delivered online, we strive to preserve a learning environment that remains both relationally rich and personally formative. Most courses will be offered in a live online format, and students are expected to be present for each class session. Absences from class continue to require the prior consent of the instructor (policy). Recordings of most 500- and 600-level courses will be available for 48 hours after each class session; however, these are intended to supplement rather than replace class attendance.

Students who cannot attend live class sessions due to their time zone must appeal to the Senior Academic Administrator ([email protected]) for permission to take the course asynchronously. This option is not available for 700-level seminar courses.
