MDiv vs. MA
I'm thinking about switching from the MDiv to the MA program. I'm really nervous about a thesis, but much more interested in the academic rather than practicum based program. I just emailed the dean. I'm afraid of how the move will affect my scholarship. Only one of my classes this year will count for MA credit, so I will essentially be starting from scratch next year. But, I would feel a lot more authentic as an MA student...

I feel like I want more details about this. What does this mean in terms of what you'll learn and what you'll be able to do after you graduate?
I can just see your face as you ask for more information Allyson!
Yes, more information is needed. I have two appointments this week. One today with the professor that runs the supervised ministry program required for MDiv students and one Thursday with the Dean of the school to discuss financial implications of switching. I'm pretty sure I will lose my scholarship, but I will only have 3 credits from my first year that count towards an MA. So, it would be an expensive decision. I will post again after I've done all my fact finding and let you know where my thinking is going... At this point, I'm really not sure.
