Cooperative Programs
Cooperative Master of Divinity Programs
Seabury offers two programs for students who are not able to come to Evanston for a full three year residential program.
Cooperative Master of Divinity Program in Detroit
In collaboration with the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan, Seabury offers Master of Divinity candidates in the Detroit area the opportunity to complete two-thirds of their degree requirements locally before coming to Evanston for four quarters in residence. The Cooperative Master of Divinity Program in Detroit has been established by several members of the Association of Chicago Theological Schools (ACTS)---Garret-Evangelical, McCormick, and Seabury---in collaboration with the Ecumenical Theological Seminary located in downtown Detroit. Students must be accepted as degree candidates at Seabury, through normal admissions procedures, and must also apply to the Ecumenical Theological Seminary (2930 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48201). The diocesan Commission on Ministry is responsible for the evaluation of vocational formation.
Cooperative Master of Divinity Program with the United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cites
In a cooperative program with the United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities and the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota, students seeking ordination in the diocese who are unable to attend a three-year residential program in an Episcopal seminary may negotiate a cooperative program, depending upon their individual status, needs, and desires, under general guidelines that are periodically reviewed. United and Seabury coordinate faculty advising for students in the program. The diocesan Commission on Ministry is responsible for the evaluation of vocational formation. The commission also serves in a consultative role in students' participation in field education, which will be taken for credit at United rather than at Seabury.Posted at January 1, 2005 11:12 AM
