The aim of all degree programs at Gordon-Conwell is to equip men and women who, as committed servants of Christ, are disciplined in mind, eager to learn, and sensitive to the needs of the world. The swiftly changing currents of contemporary society and global events increase the demands made on Christians in the exercise of their ministry in the world. The seminary strives to educate students to think biblically and theologically in the face of global needs. Students who are ready to give God not only their hearts but also their minds and wills are invited to join with us in pursuing obedience to God.
The seminary uses a semester system (fall and spring), that includes a full "semester-like" summer school program. Given the seminary's commitment to the adult learner, various delivery models are employed. All courses are offered in a weekend format (Friday evenings and all-day Saturday), but evening, one-week intensive, and distance education (Semlink) courses are also provided. Courses offered in a one-week format are generally offered in January, May and July. It is not possible, however, to earn a degree through evening and one-week intensive courses only.
The curriculum is spread through three academic divisions:
Detailed degree requirements for the academic programs listed below may be found in the Course Descriptions section of the catalog , available online.
Since a good understanding of the content of the Bible is central to all types of Christian ministry, the seminary requires all masters' level degree students to demonstrate proficiency in Bible competency. Bible competency is measured either through satisfactorily passing the Old and New Testament competency exams or through taking the Old and New Testament survey courses. The courses are regular seminary offerings and receive full degree credit. Depending on one's degree program, the survey courses may be taken as a general elective or as a Biblical Studies requirement.
