General plan of the program.-The program in Church History includes four classes of courses: first, three courses which are intended to be introductory to more advanced work and also to give a general view of the field; while the whole subject is covered in a very general way, those periods are emphasized which are of special interest and importance for the student preparing for active work in the ministry, those periods, which, because they were creative or transitional, are of most value for an understanding of the development of the church; second, special courses covering more limited chronological fields or devoted to the study of particular movements or to particular countries; these courses are intended for the students taking special interest in Church History and desiring fuller information than is offered by the introductory courses; they are also designed for those definitely specializing in the subject; third, more special and more advanced courses, in which there is distinct effort to prepare students for scholarly work and research; fourth, courses in missions and the whole history of the expansion of Christianity. 2. Requirements for degrees.—(a) The candidate is subject to the general regulations of the Divinity School respecting degrees. b) Before being accepted as a candidate for any degree, the student must have completed twelve majors of theological study, three of which must have been taken in Church History. Courses 1, 2, and 3 are prescribed. Any course offered by the Department may be taken as a sequence course, except 1, 2, and 3. c) The general requirements for the Bachelor's, the Master's, and the Doctor's degree in Church History are stated on pp. 318-20. d) For the Master's degree with Church History as the principal subject, and for the Doctor's degree with Church History as the secondary subject, the candidate must be familiar with the most significant movements in the entire history of the church, and he will be so examined as to test his knowledge of these main events and his grasp of the more special periods treated in the courses which he has selected under the advice of the Department. e) For the Doctor's degree with Church History as principal subject, the candidate must be familiar with the general field of Church History, but the stress of the examination will be laid on the period in which he has written his thesis. He will be expected to have fuller knowledge of the whole field than would qualify him for the Master's degree and must in addition be prepared for a searching examination in one general division of the whole subject. The degree will be given, not on the basis of a certain number of majors completed, but in recognition of the candidate's high attainments and ability in his chosen province. 3. Church History and History.-Church History is a special field of history of great general interest and of peculiar professional significance to theological students. But the field of history is a wide one, and therefore students making a special study of Church History will often find it helpful to choose courses in the Departments of Arts, Literature, and Science, and especially certain courses in the Graduate Schools. These courses, while not strictly limited to the field of Church History, give information and training of marked value to the specialist in Church History. The relations between the departments of general history and of Church History are such that, under proper restriction, students doing work in Church History can be allowed to carry such courses in the general history department as appear to be suited to their special needs.
