The Practical Theology concentration within the Master of Arts in Religion (M.A.R.) at Yale Divinity School is designed for students seeking advanced interdisciplinary academic engagement with the lived religious practices of persons and communities. Ideal for those planning doctoral studies in practical theology or careers in ministry, education, or non-profit leadership, the program lets students focus on subdisciplines such as homiletics, pastoral care, religious education, spirituality, or combine them in consultation with faculty. Key requirements include 24 credit hours in practical theology (with mandatory proseminar and research methods), 9 credits in Divinity outside Practical Theology, 15 elective credits, and two courses focused on class, gender/sexuality, race/ethnicity, disability, or global/cultural diversity. The program emphasizes integrating theological study with practical applications, reflection on identity, agency, and social engagement. 来源： https://divinity.yale.edu/academics/degree-and-certificate-requirements/concentrated-master-arts-religion-mar
