Beeson Divinity School offers the Master of Divinity (M.Div.), Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.) and the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degrees. Beeson is accredited with the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.

Master of Divinity
The Master of Divinity (M.Div.) is the flagship degree of the Beeson Divinity School. It is normally the first professional degree leading to ordination. This degree has as its primary thrust the development of competence in ministry. This degree seeks a balanced emphasis between academic excellence and professional preparation.

Master of Theological Studies
The Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.) is a general academic degree. It has a major thrust toward theological understanding and a minimal thrust toward the professional practice of ministry. Consequently, the M.T.S. is not the degree for those whose call is to church ministries normally requiring ordination. Admission to this degree is selective and limited.

Doctor of Ministry
The Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) is the highest earned degree for the practice of Christian ministry. The design of the degree is to enhance understanding and to improve skills of the minister whether in the local congregation or some related field. The goal is to equip the person committed to a Christian vocation for the highest level of excellence in the actual practice of that ministry.
The program is open to students who already earned their first professional degree (M.Div. or its equivalent) either at Beeson Divinity School or another accredited school and who have a minimum of three years" experience in a pastorate or other professional ministry. The D.Min. program is open only to those who demonstrate the highest competence, dedication , and potential for excellence. The program consists of seminars on campus, supervision in academics and ministry practice, and a dissertation in practical theology. Mid-career candidates are especially encouraged to apply.

Joint Degree Programs
Dual degree programs allow students to earn two degrees concurrently with fewer credit hour requirements than are needed to earn the degrees separately. Joint degree programs require admission to each of the respective schools. Joint degrees must be pursued concurrently.
