The seminary offers two master's degrees, one for the training of clergy (M.Div.)[1] and the other for lay people (M.A.).[2] The seminary's practice and policy is to ordain only men for the ministry, in accordance with the historic biblical Lutheran view on the role of women.[3] The M.A. degree program has no restrictions.[4]
All instructors are active clergy who serve working congregations or missions. As of October, 2012, the faculty collectively averaged 27 years in the ministry.[5]
The seminary has operated under a Certificate of Approval and Authorization issued by the Illinois Board of Higher Education in the Prairie Region of the state of Illinois since August 7, 2012.[6][7]
Seminary students have library borrowing privileges at the on-campus Luther Library, as well as at Millikin University.[8]
