Jul 8, 2025

  • GRADUATE DEGREES
  • LICENTIATE AND DOCTORATE COURSES
  • TMP 300 Series: ThL, ThD, PhD

In courses which are generally open for enrollment to STB and MA students as well as to ThL, ThD, DMin, or PhD students, professors are to require additional and advanced scholarly work commensurate to the levels of study of the latter group of students. This may take the form of some substantial reading and theological writing normally expected of licentiate and doctorate students.
