Program Details

Liberty’s 100% online Master of Divinity (M.Div.) in Professional Chaplaincy – Healthcare track equips students with ministry training focused on the role of the chaplain in a hospice or hospital setting. With this degree, students with or without previous ministry training can get a broad base of theology, ministry, Bible studies, and other essential skills to meet their ministry goals. M.Div. in Professional Chaplaincy students will study the ethics and methods of pastoral care, approaches to evangelism, the foundations of expository teaching, and have a firm foundation in chaplain ministry skills. The Healthcare area of study provides students with additional skills and knowledge to counsel patients and their families, help families suffering from the loss of a loved one, and minister to the needs of patients undergoing treatment. Students in the M.Div. in Professional Chaplaincy – Healthcare program will also complete chaplaincy field experience for Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE). These additional hands-on skills will help equip students to take on chaplaincy roles in many mission fields and provide a credential that can help open doors for ministry in and outside of the Church. Graduates of the professional chaplaincy program will be well-equipped for roles as ministry leaders, hospice chaplains, hospital chaplains with CPE certification, and pastors.
