ATS Master of Divinity in Transformational Urban Leadership (MDiv. TUL)
A 90-Unit Three-Year Degree Program Degree Program Description The 90-Unit Master of Divinity is a professional degree designed to enable urban leaders to do Christian ministry in localized urban poor areas in Metro Manila and the major cities in Asia. Our emphasis is on transformation and development work, paired with deeper theological and Biblical reflection for leaders in urban poor ministry, who also do pastoral ministry and are involved in theological education. These programs combine community development-related urban transformation skills with an emphasis on evangelism and church planting. Students are equipped to become movement leaders by mobilizing and multiplying teams. The programs emphasize classroom theory combined with significant practical fieldwork. Students are exposed to the necessary theory components but the majority of their time is spent in urban poor settings testing those theories in the practice of urban ministry.
