Coming in Fall 2025!

Yellowstone Theological Institute is excited to announce the launch of our Master of Divinity in the 2025–2026 academic year!

The M.Div. has long been considered the standard preparation for formal ministry in the church. The course of study in YTI’s Master of Divinity will encompass biblical studies, theological studies, spiritual studies, culture and mission, worship arts, and adventure, as well as training in a wide array of essential ministry skills. Master of Divinity classes will be conducted in a seminar style, guided by professors who have both terminal degrees and extensive practical ministry experience.

Students in the Master of Divinity program will be able to pursue their studies full-time or part-time.
