Flexible Programs Mean You Won't Need to Relocate
Wherever God is calling you—in the church, nonprofit work, academia, or another vocation—a degree from Duke Divinity School can prepare you for innovative Christian leadership. And with our flexible, hybrid online degrees and certificate, you won't need to relocate or leave your current work to engage in deep theological study that will transform your faith and practice.

What is a hybrid online degree or certificate program?

Our hybrid online degree and certificate programs combine the best of both worlds: online classes that make it possible to attend Duke without moving or leaving your current work, and three visits to campus each year—in January, May, and August. These one-week, in-person intensives give you the opportunity to build community, participate in campus activities, and network and worship in person with classmates and faculty.

Our online learning is designed to create community in a flexible way by combining scheduled live online classes using Zoom and self-paced learning so that you can remain in ministry or working full-time while also engaging in rigorous theological reflection and scholarship.

Scholarship Support

All Students Receive Scholarshps

All students in our hybrid online degree and certificate programs receive scholarship support covering between 25% and 100% of tuition. Applicants are automatically considered for scholarships, and no separate application is needed.
