About

Sponsored by the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, Hood Theological Seminary is a distinguished, ecumenical, historically Black seminary renowned for preparing diverse religious and community leaders. The seminary’s strongest academic offerings include its accredited Master of Divinity (M.Div.), Master of Theological Studies (MTS), and Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) programs, which uniquely integrate traditional biblical scholarship with Africentric perspectives and a commitment to Christian social justice. The campus culture is close-knit and deeply collaborative, serving an interdenominational student body composed largely of working adults and second-career ministers. Hood stands out for its accessible hybrid and weekend-intensive formats, specifically tailored to accommodate the demands of bi-vocational ministry and non-traditional students.
