Advanced Degrees Introduction

COLUMBIA OFFERS FOUR PROGRAMS LEADING TO AN ADVANCED DEGREE.

They include the Master of Theology, Doctor of Ministry, and Doctor of Educational Ministry. Each of these advanced degrees builds on the work completed in the MDiv, MAPT, or MA(TS) degrees.

In addition to the resources of the faculty and library on Columbia’s campus, advanced degree students may draw upon the resources of the Atlanta area. Additional educational opportunities and resources are available through the Atlanta Theological Association. Accredited programs of clinical pastoral education and pastoral counseling are available in many settings. Numerous national and regional offices of denominational and interdenominational agencies are located in Atlanta.
