In North America, the Master of Theology (Th. M. or M.Th.) is a postgraduate Masters degree which is sometimes earned after (or instead of) a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) or a Master of Theological Studies. This is generally a one or two year specialized advanced degree in theological research that many theology students undertake in order to better prepare for Th.D., D.Min. or Ph.D. programs.

A comparable degree, the Master of Sacred Theology (S.T.M.), is offered at some seminaries.
