The Seminary is fully accredited by The Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada. The primary mission of the Seminary is to prepare ministers for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This is done especially by means of the 3-year Master of Divinity program. There are also 2-year master's programs in Youth Ministry and in Pastoral Ministry. In addition, the Seminary offers the 1-2 year academic Master of Arts in Religion program and the Master of Theology.
Seminary students come from all inhabited continents of the world.
We have one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse seminary campuses in North America. About 400 students take courses here. Another 500 attend Seminary classes offered by extension in several locations in North America, Inter-America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. All of these lead to full degrees. More than half of the 50-member Seminary faculty were born overseas or worked for the SDA Church outside North America.
