課程介紹
道學碩士課程是爲在華人教會背景事奉之牧者及基督徒領袖而設的。這課程設計按照堅實的聖經基礎、深度的神學思考，兼顧個人靈命塑造，並通過跨學科知識整合培養事奉技能，體驗以個案及群體處境為本的學習。道學碩士課程學生需要完成實習要求。然而道學碩士進修課程（60 學分）的申請者應該在聖經學院或大學宗教系已完成相當於神學學士課程之學位，或在其他神學院已完成基督教研究碩士或神學研究碩士之學位。已獲基督教研究碩士或神學研究碩士學位之申請人，可申請免修與道學碩士進修課程最多共享多 12 學分。
跨域同步學習透過靈活方式，同學能夠在工作之餘同時學習，還有已在事奉中但希望進修者，或居住於加拿大其他地區並世界各地但未能定居溫哥華的學生。跨域同步道學碩士課程要求兩次到溫哥華參加實體退修營及密集學習（每次為期 10-14 天），其他課堂則通過網課進行。跨域同步課程盼望學生的學習能扎根於其所在地的信仰及事奉群體。學生必須在當地滿足實習要求，並能安排當地牧者輔導其實習。該牧者須願意接受加神溫哥華舉辦的實習輔導訓練。
