Doctor of Metaphysical Divinity: Esoteric Theology and Mystical Studies

Study format, tuition and admissions

Online, self-paced religious study. The current curriculum lists 10 courses and 30 credit hours. Completion depends on meeting the program's academic requirements; no fixed completion time is promised.

Current tuition is $119 per month. Total tuition depends on the number of billed months, not a fixed program total.

New students need program-specific application approval before their first tuition payment. Applicants above Associate level must complete prior-credential review.

Credential recognition

These are church-issued religious credentials, not regionally accredited academic degrees or state licensure. Acceptance by employers and other institutions is not guaranteed. Spiritual care study does not qualify graduates to provide regulated clinical services.
