Baptist Studies Program
The Baptist Studies Program operates within an ecumenical MDiv program to prepare students for ministry in Baptist congregations and other settings. The central academic components of the program are courses in Baptist history, theology, and polity. Student internships and Contextual Education placements in Baptist congregations and agencies make up the contextual component of the MDiv program. For further information, contact the Rev. David W. Key, director, at 404.727.6350.
Baptist Studies Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships covering three-quarters tuition are available to full-time Baptist students studying in the MDiv program. A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 is required for these awards. Based on potential excellence in ministry, these awards are made possible by donations from Baptist individuals, churches, and organizations, as well as by matching funds from Candler. Most recipients of these scholarships are considered to be Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Leadership scholars. Participation in this program is an additional requirement of the scholarship.
