2019-2020 Student Catalog | Academic Policies & Procedures

Duration of Programs

Students will be expected to complete their degree program within two years of its normal length. Thus, M.Div. students will be allowed six years, M.A. Theological Studies, M.A. in Ministry Practice, M.A. in Transformational Leadership, and M.A. in Theology and Social Justice students four years to complete their academic work. Students who withdraw from Northeastern Seminary and wish to return at a later date to complete a degree should keep in mind that only academic credits earned within 10 years of Northeastern Seminary degree conferral—including Northeastern credits—can count toward a degree.
