• Ministers employed by Seventh-day Adventist conferences who want to increase their effectiveness by com- pleting the requisite professional education for the pastorate.

• College graduates who seek professional preparation for ministry.

• Students interested in doctoral study (both Doctor of Ministry and Doctor of Philosophy).

• Specialized church employees, such as religious educators, high school teachers, youth and chil- dren’s pastors, family pastors and counselors who desire a professional ministerial degree program in their area of specialty.
• People engaged in occupations other than ministry who believe they are called to pastoral ministry and therefore want to obtain the appro- priate educational preparation.
• Adequately prepared interna- tional students.
• Pastors and others who are not Seventh-day Adventist.

A combined program leading to the completion of both the Master of Divinity and Master of Business Administration degrees is offered jointly by the Divinity School and the School of Business. The program is designed especially for persons inter- ested in congregational leadership, church administration, church plant- ing, and the use of entrepreneurial skills to enhance congregational and community life.

Twelve units completed in the Divinity School by a student enrolled in the program may be used to fulfill requirements for the M.B.A. program, and twelve units completed in the School of Business by such a student may be used to fulfill requirements for the M.Div. program, with the result that twenty-four fewer units will be required to complete the combined program than would be required to complete the two degrees separately.

A student wishing to complete the combined degree must be accepted into both the M.Div. and the M.B.A. programs. For further information, please contact the Divinity School dean’s office or the School of Business dean’s office.
