Students having graduated with the M.A.R. degree may transfer all 45 hours, as applicable, into the Master of Divinity Program. Those wishing to graduate with the M.Div. must complete at least 30 additional semester hours at LTS beyond the courses needed to satisfy the M.A.R. degree. Students desiring the additional degree must complete a Change of Program form in the Registrar’s office.
All students must complete at least 30 hours of course work at Liberty University to receive a graduate degree.
