Wayland offers online divinity degree. Wayland Baptist University is accepting applications for its Master of Divinity degree program that begins in the fall. Students may complete the 86-hour degree program entirely online, but courses also will be offered at Plainview or at many of Wayland’s branch campuses. Paul Sadler, dean of Wayland’s School of Religion and Philosophy, noted the degree program was designed to make ministerial education accessible to students who already are serving in churches far from a campus, working on the mission field or serving in the military. For more information, contact Sarah Langston in the graduate programs office at (806) 291-3421 or [email protected], or call the School of Religion and Philosophy at (806) 291-1160.
