Course Schedule

The Theological School offers courses all year around, with classes scheduled in varying, flexible formats that are committed to learning in community. The following are the kinds of courses that are offered:

• On-campus: 1 three-hour session per week for 12 weeks, most scheduled in the afternoon and evenings.
• Evening hybrid: 1 one hour and 45 minute early evening session per week for 12 weeks plus 12 hours off-campus (online, field trips, other events, etc.).
• Blended: 1-2 weekend sessions plus online meetings in-between.
• Weekend intensive: 3-4 weekend sessions.
• Weeklong intensive: 5 full days in a row plus independent work before and after.
• Online: Sessions that meet completely online.

The evening hybrid and required MDiv courses are currently scheduled for full-time commuting students to be able to come to campus one day per week or two consecutive or non-consecutive days per week. It is possible for commuters to take nearly all of their courses in a combination of evening, intensive, online and hybrid courses, although this may not be done at a full-time pace.
