‣ Program Requirements: The ThM requires satisfactory completion of 30 semester units asoutlined in the curriculum with grades of A or B and a cumulative GPA of at least 3.1/4.0.All students are initially enrolled in the ThM in Biblical and Pastoral Theology. Studentsinterested in pursuing the Exegetical Theology degree may apply to write a thesis when theyhave completed 12 units of study. If accepted, they will be changed to the Exegetical Theologyprogram at that point.Since this degree is designed to teach students advanced study skills, students are stronglyencouraged to complete up to 6 units of coursework by independent reading and research underfaculty supervision. A maximum combined total of 12 units may be transferred from anotherinstitution or taken by independent study for the ThM. Program requirements are clearly spelledout in the ThM Manual available from the ThM Director.‣ Modular Program Option: Either of the ThM tracks (see below) may be done in a modularformat. The modular ThM program is structured to allow individuals in full-time ministry, orotherwise unable to study in residency, to pursue their ThM from a distance. Students in thisprogram are able to complete the degree through a combination of intensive week-long, oncampusresidencies, advisor-guided independent studies, and self-study courses.Students in the Exegetical Theology track (see below) must complete 12 hours of the ThMprogram through on-campus, week-long, intensive seminars. The remaining 18 hours can becompleted off campus through independent studies and self-study options. Students in theBiblical and Pastoral Theology track (see below) must complete 15 hours of the ThM programon campus (weekend or week-long intensive seminars, normally including 9 Practical Theologycredits). The remaining 15 hours can be completed off campus through a combination ofindependent studies and self-study options.‣ ThM in Exegetical Theology: The ThM in Exegetical Theology requires proficiency in a secondmodern language (including English if English is not the primary native language) by the time astudent has completed 12 units of graduate work at Covenant Seminary. Students are notpermitted to register for additional units until this requirement has been met. (Note:Proficiency is defined as the equivalent of 1 recently completed college level course.)
