M.Div./M.Min. Emphases
All degree candidates take a core curriculum of courses designed to provide competency in a variety of theological and ministry related disciplines. To further assist students' development of competency in ministry, ESR has developed a ministry emphasis system. At the conclusion of the required Discernment of Call and Gifts course, students select one of seven ministry emphases as their ministry focus. A cluster of courses is required for each ministry emphasis, and becomes part of a student's required program of study once a particular emphasis has been selected.
