Come and let God transform you.

Your education is our first priority at Moody Theological Seminary. When you choose Moody, you’re choosing to pursue life-transforming spiritual growth in a diverse community. Your time here will be characterized by ministry training, practical experiences, and relationships that’ll last the rest of your life. Choose the learning style that fits your schedule best: attend classes on campus in Chicago or Plymouth, Michigan; take courses online; or combine the two methods with modular classes. 

Invest in your future
Earning your master’s is an investment. At only $460 per credit hour, Moody wants to help you make that investment a little more manageable. Your time at Moody will be enriched beyond an excellent education—you’ll gain experience, wisdom, mentors, and friends. Whether you’re worshiping together in weekly chapel, studying in the library, working through an online class, or getting coffee from Joe’s (the on-campus coffee shop), your classmates and professors will motivate and inspire you to learn and grow.  

Ministry-focused training 
You’ll receive training that emphasizes your professional development and teaches you how to do ministry. Whether you’ve been leading a church for 25 years or just graduated from college, you’ll be inspired and encouraged to put your faith into practice.  

Life-transforming spiritual growth 
Study God, theology, and the Bible and integrate what you learn into your daily life. You’ll take courses that teach you about God and how to work with His people. 

Rigorous biblical and theological study 
Our classes cover all aspects of biblical studies—beginning with general Bible surveys, then reading the Bible in the original languages, and finally digging deeper into specific genres of Scripture. 

Learn in community 
You’ll learn from professors who pour into your life from their years of practical and academic experience. They’ll walk through your education with you and invest in your personal and spiritual growth. Come and let God transform you. Leave and let God transform the world through you.
