Courses will be scheduled primarily on only one full day of the week. Some semesters may require two days per week. Approximately four or five one-week, modular courses will also be taken throughout each academic year. This type of schedule permits students to be on campus part-time and working at their home church part-time. The schedule will also permit churches within a commute’s drive to have students who commute to class and then return home for ministry.
The MDiv program is only offered once every three years, in sequence, and there are no electives. As such, if students wish to graduate in 3 years, they must take each class as it is offered or receive credit for classes through advanced standing or transfer credit.
