Engaging students from across the Samford campus, the new department is equipping individuals to serve the church and missions as part of their life-long dedication to disciplemaking. The department is also home to Samford’s long-time Ministry Training Institute which provides ministry training to churches and their leaders throughout the Southeast.

Introducing Samford University’s accelerated bachelor of arts (BA) to master of divinity (MDiv) program.
