Theological Studies

One of Providence Theological Seminary’s signature programs, the Master of Arts in Theological Studies will provide you with a knowledge base in the track of your choice: either Biblical Studies or Systematic Theology. You’ll encounter many of the most important contributors to the field, and will come into contact with some of the major contemporary theological issues of the day. Your instructors, and the course work they provide, will provide a framework of faith and knowledge within which to face the various ideas you’ll encounter during your studies.
Students may choose from one of two tracks: Biblical Studies and Systematic Theology.
