Located in the heart of both Duke University and the diverse city of Durham, N.C., Duke Divinity School is an ecumenical and confessional Christian theological school, equipping students to serve the church and lead thriving communities in service and witness to the Triune God. Students across all seven programs participate in rigorous interdisciplinary scholarship opportunities within a robust community, at the spiritual center of a great university. Our programs include: Master of Divinity (residential and hybrid), Master of Theological Studies, Master of Arts in Christian Practice, Master of Theology, Doctor of Theology, and Doctor of Ministry along with several dual-degree options with Duke Law, the Nicholas School of the Environment, Sanford School of Public Policy, or UNC’s School of Social Work, and a certificate in Theology and Health Care.
Alongside academic advising available from United Methodist faculty, United Methodist Students may choose to affiliate with our Methodist House of Studies as they prepare for service and ordination/exams in the communities where they will serve, and with any of our other six Houses of Study, to explore the practices and languages of worship from other traditions. These houses are not actual physical locations, but community structures that offer support.
