Students go deeper into the areas that match their gifts and have the ability to move into ministry faster, adapting to the challenges and opportunities of this rapidly changing world. Each course is rooted in the biblical bedrock, academic rigor, and mentored learning that have been the hallmark of Denver Seminary for over 65 years. ON CAMPUS OR FULLY ONLINE This esteemed MDiv is now being offered in two distinct delivery systems. Classes are offered at the beautiful Denver campus near the Rocky Mountains for those who prefer a classic format of learning and want to pursue an MDiv residentially.

And now, students have the option to stay connected in their current place of work, ministry, and community to pursue the degree fully online. This vibrant online community integrates a flexible, collaborative, and accessible learning experience, without the residential restrictions or the need to uproot a student's life to reach their educational goals.
