The Dual Degree Program in Theology and Music Ministry (MDiv/MSM) is designed for those preparing to be church musicians who wish to engage in a full range of theological studies and preparation for ordination. The program also allows students to develop their musical gifts to a professional level. Based on a perception that the integrity of worship comprises both word and music, the program prepares candidates for a dual ministry in areas such as church music and pastoral counseling, a position on a large staff, or for a comprehensive ministry as pastor and church musician in a small church. The four-year, full-time program leads to the Master of Sacred Music (MSM) and the Master of Divinity (MDiv). The two degrees, on the recommendation of the faculty, will be conferred simultaneously. The STH Bulletin contains the official description of the degree program along with admissions and financial information.

The School of Theology and the School of Social Work offer two joint degree programs for students seeking to integrate theological study with professional social work practice: the Master of Divinity (MDiv)/Master of Social Work (MSW) and the Master of Theological Studies (MTS)/Master of Social Work (MSW). Students choose between clinical (individual and small group) or macro (community-based) social work practice options. There is room in this program for students with a long-standing interest in the urban environment and for those new to the field who wish to explore the dynamic realm of urban social work practice. Please see the full description of the degree program in the STH Bulletin, which also contains admissions and financial information.
