Statement of Educational Effectiveness
Covenant Theological Seminary is committed to effective education and preparation for a variety of Christian ministries locally, nationally, and globally. Our nearly 3,500 total alumni (defined as students who have earned a degree) currently live or serve in all 50 states and 40 countries in a variety of vocational and non-vocational ministry positions, faithfully serving the Kingdom as senior or solo pastors, associate or assistant pastors, youth or campus ministers, church lay leaders, counselors, chaplains, translators, educators, missionaries, business owners, community and political leaders, film makers, homemakers, and in many other Christ-centered and God-honoring ways.
Our effectiveness is evidenced by the fact that, by God’s grace, the placement rate within six months of graduation for our Master of Divinity graduates seeking ministry positions with the Seminary’s recommendation has been consistently high, more than 90% cumulatively for the past 10 years with most graduates entering full-time church leadership. The placement rate for 2010–11 (the last year for which complete statistics are available) was 89%--but this also represents the highest number of ministerial candidates seeking placement; that is, the number of graduates placed for this year exceeds the total number of graduates in either of the preceding two years.
This placement rate builds upon the student experience in the classroom and community. Student satisfaction surveys reveal the following about the student experience at Covenant Seminary related to our mission.
