After completing a ThM or PhD in Theological Studies or Church History, graduates typically serve in teaching, leadership, or administrative roles in their churches, colleges, or seminaries, and continue writing and research projects designed to aid the church in living out its distinctive calling in the Asian context.
AGST’s ThM/PhD in Theological Studies and Church History has a long legacy of preparing faithful leaders for the church and academy in Asia and around the globe. Today, our graduates serve as deans and presidents at Bible colleges and seminaries throughout Asia and beyond, and are leading the way in pioneering new resources for the Majority World church.
Join a community of scholar-theologians being equipped to teach and lead the next generation of Asian Christians.

In addition to the program committee, guest and affiliate faculty teach courses and supervise student research.
Note: The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has suspended previous
restrictions on digital learning in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and a
moratorium on most in-person educational activities in the Philippines. However,
international students may need to be aware of certain restrictions on
receiving a CHED-recognized degree when studying in a fully online format.
(This should not affect the validity of your degree vis-à-vis ATA recognition.)
