About the Perkins Hybrid Houston-Galveston Extension Program
Perkins School of Theology meets you where you are both spiritually and geographically through our flexible Houston-Galveston Extension Program.

Through Perkins, ϲԤ offers students in the Houston-Galveston region—and others willing to travel to Houston—the opportunity to complete two different master's degrees in theology on-site: the Master of Divinity (M.Div.) and the Master of Arts in Ministry (M.A.M.).
