KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary’s trustees voted to approve a proposed 60-hour Ph.D. program at their meeting March 27–28.
The Ph.D. program would complement Midwestern’s current doctoral studies programs that include both doctor of ministry and doctor of educational ministry degrees. The action allows seminary administrators to petition its accrediting agency — the Association of Theological Schools — in April for program accreditation.
The proposed program will include concentrations in both New Testament and Old Testament, considered to be the institution’s strengths, and give students the flexibility to live off-campus. If accreditation is approved, the program is slated to be offered in fall 2007.
