A Developmental Curriculum

At Calvin Theological Seminary, we are concerned not only with what we teach but how we teach it. Our developmental pedagogy begins with basic literacy in all curricular areas, followed by increased in-depth analysis and culminates in multi-disciplinary integration.

Year One Focus: Literacy

Literacy courses establish the basic vocabulary, concepts and themes of theological education and ministry. They are the building blocks for seminary education and the foundation of the entire M.Div. curriculum.

Year Two Focus: Analysis

Analysis courses feature more in-depth examinations of themes in a given field of study. A number of analysis courses are electives which enable students to explore a focused amount of material. Electives encourage curiosity, imagination and life-long learning.

Year Three Focus: Integration

Integration courses feature intentionally interdisciplinary learning designed to help students draw upon their work from a variety of fields and experiences and apply it to specific ministry situations.
