Design of the Program
This program is designed as an integrative program that can be accomplished within 2 years and, not more than 3 years.  While doing full-time study, the student has to take 14 courses (consisting 6 courses in systematic theology, 6 courses in mission, and 2 elective courses), pass the comprehensive exam, and successfully write and defend a thesis.
After studying for two semesters, the student must take a comprehensive exam held in the fifth week of the third semester.  During the third semester, he must begin to plan for writing a thesis, to write a thesis proposal and, afterwards, to present and to defend it to the board of examiners on the eighth week in the third semester (3 weeks after doing comprehensive examination).  After passing the proposal examination, he can directly write a thesis until the end of the fourth semester.  Therefore, all the requirements of this program of study can be normally accomplished within two years.
