About the Third Millennium Curriculum

Third Millennium Ministries' curriculum is a work in progress that will be completed in three stages:

Stage 1 — Certificate
A 27-credit 1-year curriculum suitable for a certificate in Christian ministry.
Stage 2 — M.A.C.M.
A 27-credit addition to the certificate curriculum to form a 54-credit 2-year curriculum suitable for an M.A. in Christian ministry.
Stage 3 — M.Div. core
A 27-credit addition to the M.A. curriculum to provide the academic core of an M.Div. program. Seminaries may choose to add their own practicum and/or language courses to this core.

Below is our projected curriculum. Courses (e.g., Kingdom, Covenants & Canon of the Old Testament) are grouped with similar courses with common objectives (e.g., Pauline Epistles). Courses that are currently available are linked to pages where they can be downloaded.
