Trinity Lutheran Seminary offers a Master of Sacred Theology (S.T.M.) degree program to a limited number of candidates. The program is intended for those persons whose interests lie in pursuing an advanced theological degree with emphasis upon study of an academic nature. The seminary believes that the scholarly vocation is a gift to the ministry of the church. Because theology can never properly be separated from its relationship to mission and ministry, the S.T.M. degree aims at enriching both scholarly and pastoral competency. It is thus an appropriate program for both parish pastors and those whose goals include further graduate study on an advanced level.

Registration. After consulting with the Director of Graduate Studies or their thesis advisor, S.T.M. students may register individually with the Registrar prior to the announced registration period.
