Residential courses extend over the fall and spring semesters with a break in the middle of each semester during module weeks. To make these courses available for distance students, many residence classes are live-streamed. (Click icons for more information.)
You’re a recent or soon-to-be graduate considering the next level of your education at a seminary featuring some of the most respected names in their fields. Or mid-career, you’re weighing the next level of preparation to apply biblical truth to the pressing theological and real-life issues facing those to whom you minister.
Either way, you’ve come to the right place. We don’t compromise on the content or the quality of the instruction you will receive.
We have assembled next-level teaching across diverse disciplines—whether you want to be one of 500 pastors we’re seeking to put on the path to the pulpit in the next five years; a biblically faithful, life-affirming counselor; a pioneer missionary; or a groundbreaking theologian, apologist or teacher—with a commitment to careful, faithful interpretation, handling, and application of Scripture.

Course Formats
Our “no-compromise” approach extends beyond content, quality, and cost to convenience.
A resident program provides the opportunity for rich interaction with faculty and fellow students. But we know that many seminarians today are pursuing a further degree while they continue their existing ministries, and others must work their way through school. Lay leaders may be seeking specialized, certified training with the option to “stack” coursework toward a future full degree.
Whatever your needs or circumstance, we have you covered with a full range of livestream classes as well as modules and certificate programs.
