Master of Theology

Master of Theology (Latin: Theologiae Magister, abbreviated MTh, ThM, or MTheol^[1]) is a post-graduate degree offered by universities, divinity schools, and seminaries.^[2] It can serve as a transition degree for entrance into a PhD program or as a stand-alone terminal degree depending on one's particular educational background and institution of study. In North America, the ThM typically requires at least 2–3 years of prerequisite graduate study for entrance into the program, typically a Master of Divinity or equivalent.
