Course Listings by MDiv Distribution Category
for 2009-10
Show Projected
Course Offerings through 2012
Courses below are listed according to distribution categories
and indicate which courses may be used to satisfy the MDiv
distribution requirements. Some designations are obvious and
approval for distribution requirement is simple and automatic.
Other courses, however, may explore more than one religious
tradition or may not be related to a particular tradition
at all. This makes them much harder to categorize. For this
reason, the list below should be taken simply as a guide.
Courses might apply to other categories to satisfy HTP or
OR requirements in a student's particular case. Approvals
of these exceptional cases are made by the MDiv Curriculum
Committee. Cross-registered courses from other schools may
also meet distribution categories subject to the same approval.
Not all courses available and of interest to MDiv students
belong to a distribution category. The program was designed
with sufficient flexibility to allow selection from among
all course offerings. MDiv students are encouraged to select
elective courses when appropriate to their interests or program.
Please see MDiv Distribution Categories
and Arts of Ministry for descriptions of the distribution
categories, as well as related MDiv requirements.
N.B.: Courses that are classified as two or more religious
traditions may only count as an HTP or a comparative course
toward an MDiv student's other religion requirement.
