Except for Liturgical Music (LM), all courses are 2 credit courses and meet for two hours a week during the
semester in which they are offered (each of the six courses in Liturgical Music carries 1 credit). The first
six areas of study (I-VI) contain the St. Nersess Armenian Seminary's part of the core curriculum for the joint
M.Div. degree with St. Vladimir's Orthodox Seminary, and with the remaining two areas (VII. Biblical Studies
and VIII. Church and Society) provide the curriculum for the M.A. degree at St. Nersess. The last area of
General Studies (IX) is open to students in both degree programs.
