 | Howard University School of Divinity (HUSD) is one of the oldest fully accredited (1940) theological schools affiliated with the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada. And, as one of the 12 schools and colleges within Howard, it is the only African-American theological school connected to a comprehensive category I research institution. |
Current programs of study include a Master of Divinity degree, which is designed to prepare students for the ministry as pastors and in related fields, including chaplaincies, Christian education, and staff positions within denominations. The Master of Arts in Religious Studies degree is designed for those interested in teaching, continuing studies in religion and theology, or those preparing for advanced theological education. The Doctor of Ministry degree is for students who wish to engage in an advanced level of preparation for ministerial practice. Its primary goal is the integration of theological and anthropological understandings in the context of responsible engagement of ministry. Additionally, there are plans underway to create a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Religious Studies with emphasis on biblical studies, African-American religious studies, and ethics and public policy. Each degree program is purposed to form men and women, who are both capable and desirous of transforming communities across the globe into places where love, justice, freedom, salvation, and humanity are affirmed and upheld in sermon, in research and in service. The School is housed in the expansive Benjamin E. Mays Hall, located in northeast Washington, D.C., on the University's East Campus. As a learning community of faith, HUSD emphasizes: Cultural Affirmation and Celebration Excellence in Academics Intellectual Exchange that Forms and Transforms Faith that Loves, Heals and Saves Knowledge that Uplifts, Mends and Serves
