Stackable by design

Every certificate counts toward a degree

The MDiv and the MAST are both built from the same first year: finish the Certificate of Spirituality and Social Change or the Certificate of Sexuality and Religion, and that year already counts. Keep going toward the MAST in year two, or the full MDiv by year three.

A credential at every stage Complete a certificate in year one, continue to the MAST in year two, or pursue the MDiv in year three. Each stage awards a credential.
