Masters of Divinity

I have noticed that I have picked up a few readers of this blog! Thank you all for taking the time to check out my blog. To date, I have about 21 people who have found the blog! With that kind of traffic, I might as well go public or try to sell to facebook. Ha. I am not sure if I have stated what I will be pursuing in seminary, so this will be a good time to do so. I will be going for a Masters of Divinity or MDiv for short. It is approximately 3 times the coursework as my Masters in Accounting. Here is the the degree plan for 2008. I'm sure it is subject to change over the next few years a little bit. There are many different concentrations that you can have, which influences the electives that you take. At this point, I am looking at that concentration of Christian Apologetics (Critical Thinking, God and Evil, Christian Faith and Science, Apologetics in the Early Church, Christian Ethics), Theology, and even New Testament Exegesis and Exposition. Of course, since I will be on the 6-7 year plan, I have plenty of time to decide.
