Hybrid MDiv Program

Summary of Requirements

The residence requirement for the Hybrid MDiv program is four June intensive terms (each 2 weeks long) and four January intensive terms (normally 1 week long) taken in Berkeley as a CDSP student. In addition to these eight intensive terms on campus, students take 6 credit hours per semester each fall and spring. The program is designed to be completed by a student in a minimum of four years. A student may not enroll in more than three 3-credit courses (nine credits) in any one semester.

Students may petition the faculty through their advisor to count course overloads and/or additional course work done during the summer and January toward a maximum of two semesters and one January intersession, in which case the student would complete the program after their fourth summer intensive. The residential program cannot be completed in less than three years (4 summer intensives, 3 January intersessions, and 6 semesters of online coursework).

Students should be aware that taking classes in a hybrid program requires diligence for maintaining an appropriate enrollment status for eligibility for federal financial aid and for required loan repayment. Hybrid students are strongly encouraged to be in conversation with the Financial Aid Office.

All requirements must be completed within ten years inclusive of leaves of absence. A program is counted as beginning as of the first term of study in which credits toward a degree are successfully earned.
