BOSTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY ANNOUNCES\u00a0<\/strong>NEW MASTER OF DIVINITY DEGREE PROGRAM TRACK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston, MA \u2013 May 7, 2020 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Boston University School of Theology (BUSTH) is pleased to announce a new\u00a0Master of Divinity degree (MDiv)<\/a>\u00a0track in Organizational Management. The Master of Divinity degree at BUSTH allows students to specialize coursework toward their unique vocational callings,\u00a0and this new track aims to prepare students for forms of religious leadership that require organizational and financial management skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Organizational Management track is appropriate for those pursuing vocations in contexts where creative new models of ministry are required both inside and outside traditional parish structures,\u201d says Bryan Stone, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. \u201cFor some, it may mean managing complex religious organizations or offering entrepreneurial leadership to faith-based nonprofits, community organizations, and social ministries.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new Organizational Management track of the MDiv degree requires the same core courses as all MDiv tracks, but the track also includes requirements in administration, finance, and management taken at the\u00a0School of Hospitality Administration<\/a>, and from among other options across Boston University in non-profit management, fundraising, and philanthropy. BUSTH Master of Theological Studies (MTS) students may also specialize in Organizational Management by following similar course requirements.<\/p>\n

Interested students can find more information\u00a0here<\/a>,\u00a0or by contacting Associate Dean\u00a0Bryan Stone<\/a>\u00a0or BUSTH Registrar\u00a0Sangwon Yang<\/a>.<\/p>\n
