Concentration in Theology, Ecology, and Faith Formation

The nine-credit concentration in Theology, Ecology, and Faith Formation is available to Princeton Seminary Master of Divinity and Master of Theological Studies students. The concentration allows students to enrich their ministry training and preparation as Christian leaders in coursework dedicated to the intersection of faith formation, ecology, sustainability, climate change, and justice.  

Students must earn nine credits from approved courses and take at least one three-credit course at the Farminary. One course (or a maximum of three credits) may be taken at Princeton University in order to fulfill the requirements, subject to the approval of the coordinator and the associate dean for academic administration.

Coordinator: Dr. Nathan T. Stucky
