MDIV DEGREE PROGRAM ELECTIVE COURSE WORK In order to fulfi ll the degree requirement of 184 credits, students select a minimum of 60 additional credits from any of the course offerings or SPM opportunities. Students also have the option of taking approved courses from the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest, the Lutheran Seminary Program in the Southwest, Austin Graduate School of Theology, and graduate-level courses from The University of Texas at Austin and St. Edward’s University. Elective credit can also be earned through the following options: DIRECTED STUDY PROJECT In consultation with the associate dean for student academic affairs, a student or group of students may propose a directed study project (DSP). During the fall, January, and spring terms, the credit value of a DSP can range from one to six credits; during the summer term, a DSP in supervised practice of ministry may be proposed with a worth up to twelve credits. The associate dean will then discuss the possibility of the directed study with the professor whom the student, or students, requested as supervisor of the project. If the professor agrees to the project, then the student(s) shall, in consultation with the professor, complete the project design using the Directed Study Project application form. The project design is then submitted to the academic dean for approval. Application forms are available from the registrar or from the associate dean for student academic affairs. INDEPENDENT STUDY PROJECT During any academic term a student may undertake an independent study project. Any student who wishes to exercise this option must submit to the academic dean for approval a detailed statement describing the project, complete with outline and bibliography. The student pursues her or his work during the term and submits it for evaluation by two professors from two different faculty departments appointed by the academic dean. An independent study project is valued at eight credits. Application forms are available from the registrar. HEARER’S CREDIT OPTION MATS and MDiv students already heavily engaged in course work who are interested in other courses being offered but have insuffi cient study time to elect them for full credit may request enrollment for hearer’s credit in various courses. In providing this option for degree students, the Seminary operates under the following guidelines: 1. the professor(s) may permit, limit, or deny hearer’s credit enrollment in any given course; 2. students enrolled for hearer’s credit are required to attend all class sessions regularly and are evaluated by means agreed upon by the professor(s) and the student, with documentation provided to the registrar; 3. students are limited to one hearer’s credit enrollment in any given term; 4. for the successful completion of a course for hearer’s credit the student receives one credit toward the degree; 5. credits received throught the hearer’s credit option ordinarily do not count toward the fulfi llment of the departmental requirements and are always graded pass/fail. 30
