LITHONIA, Ga. — Luther Rice College and Seminary is pleased to announce the Bachelor of Arts in Religion to Master of Divinity Advanced Track, an accelerated degree pathway designed to prepare students for ministry more efficiently and affordably.
For more than 64 years, Luther Rice has been committed to equipping Christian men and women for ministry through innovative and accessible education. Continuing that tradition, the BA to M.Div. Advanced Track provides qualified students the opportunity to begin graduate-level theological studies while completing their undergraduate degree.
The program allows students to earn both a Bachelor of Arts in Religion and a Master of Divinity in just 156 credit hours, compared to the 201–210 credit hours typically required when the degrees are pursued separately. This accelerated pathway reduces both the time and cost required to complete these highly respected ministry degrees.
Designed for academically strong students who are preparing for pastoral ministry, church leadership, missions, chaplaincy, advanced theological study, or other ministry related fields, the BA to M.Div. Advanced Track provides a seamless transition from undergraduate to graduate education while maintaining the rigorous academic standards expected of a seminary education.
The program is available 100% online or through a combination of online and on-campus classes, providing flexibility for students serving in ministry while pursuing their educational goals. Save time, save money, and serve sooner.
