Subject to the provisions of this chapter, any seminary or school of theology in this state, whether incorporated by special charter or under general laws, may, upon the precedent recommendation, or with the concurrent approval, of the faculty of instruction and after satisfactory examination held on completion of the studies required for the degree, grant to and confer upon a graduate of the institution, or a person who has done approved work therein:
a. The degree of bachelor of divinity or theology.
b. The degree of bachelor, master or doctor of sacred theology as may be appropriate in each case.
