HARTFORD, Conn. — Reinvention is a hallmark of Hartford Seminary, so it’s no surprise that this institution founded in the early 19th century has once again embarked on a quest to redefine its future.
After a yearlong strategic planning process adopted in March 2020, the Seminary’s faculty has developed three new degree programs that streamline Hartford Seminary’s offerings and align them with emerging academic and professional standards.
These include three new 36-credit programs:
- Master of Arts in Interreligious Studies, which capitalizes on Hartford Seminary’s history and expertise in this area. Students may also select to specialize in two other areas: Ministerial Studies for those who would like to pursue ministry and go on to complete a Master of Divinity at one of our partner schools through our Cooperative M.Div., or Islamic Studies.
- Master of Arts in Chaplaincy, which expands on our history-making Islamic Chaplaincy Program, opening it up to people of all faiths, while maintaining an option to specialize in Islamic Chaplaincy. Students will learn the critical skills necessary for a profession in chaplaincy.
- Master of Arts in International Peacebuilding, which builds on our one-of-a-kind International Peacemaking Program and allows scholarship recipients to complete this full-time, cohort-based, professional MA in 12 months.
These new degrees have been accredited by The Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada and are pending review by The New England Commission on Higher Education.
We welcome applications to these new programs for Fall 2021.
