Denver Seminary is an accredited, graduate-level school of theology in Littleton, Colorado, with extension campuses in West Texas and Washington DC, that offers a wide range of theological degrees. With enrollment of approximately 900 students representing over 50 denominations, we prepare men and women to engage the needs of the world with the redemptive power of the gospel and the life-changing truth of Scripture.

Under the leadership of our outstanding faculty, we have assembled a nationally recognized curriculum that emphasizes the integration of solid biblical scholarship, penetrating theological reflection, authentic relationships and community, and genuine compassion for the lost.

Degree Programs

Denver Seminary offers Master of Arts (MA), Master of Divinity (MDiv), Master of Theology (ThM), and Doctor of Ministry (DMin) degrees with numerous specialized concentrations and has campuses in Denver, Washington DC, and West Texas. To further advance the reach of the Seminary, a fully online Master of Divinity degree will be formally introduced for students beginning Fall 2017. In addition, our new ThM (30 credit hour post MDiv degree, “Master of Theology” with concentrations in New Testament, Old Testament, and Theology) has been approved by ATS and is now enrolling students.

Accreditation

We are accredited by the Association of Theological Schools, the Higher Learning Commission, the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs, and the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education.

Campuses

Denver Seminary’s main campus is in a prime location in the Denver Metro area. It sits just above the historic South Platte River and has spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains from almost every window and bench on campus.

In 2014, Denver Seminary partnered with Hillside Community Church in Amarillo, Texas and First Baptist Church of Glenarden, Washington D.C. to begin seminary extension campuses. These campuses serve the leadership training needs of the churches and ministries in each area. With both Association of Theological Schools (ATS) and Higher Learning Commission (HLC) permissions, the Extension Campuses opened in 2015 offering two degree programs and a certificate program on each campus.

Denver Seminary’s faculty members come from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Students will benefit from their wide range of educational qualifications, ministry experiences, and cultural investments.
