The Esoteric Theological Seminary offers religious Bachelors and Masters
degrees in Theology, Religious Science, Religion, Divinity, Ministry, and Metaphysics.
You may earn a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree in the above
disciplines, or a Master of Science or Master of Arts. There are also
traditional degrees such as Bachelor of Theology or Master of Theology, Master of Divinity (with
no "Arts" or "Science" designation). Do some research and decide which
degree is best suited to you and your current work in the field. We will
consider all religious degree titles if you are in need of a different style
degree. (i.e. Bachelor of Science in Islamic Studies, Master of Christian
Ministry, etc.) Just
email with what you have in mind and the
Board of Governors can tell you whether the Seminary can confer that degree
or not.
