United Methodist "Approved" Schools of Theology

Our 13 United Methodist schools of theology in the United States have educated outstanding preachers and teachers, evangelists and missionaries, chaplains and lay leaders who have led the church.

Our schools are vital parts of the United Methodist connection and provide a clear focus on the practice of ministry, as well as thoughtful theological reflection. If you plan to serve in The United Methodist Church, there is no better place to prepare for your ministry.

All United Methodist schools of theology are approved to provide a fully online Master of Divinity or other theological degree to meet the educational requirements for United Methodist ordination.
