Up to thirty five credits may be earned for three or more years in a ministry approved by the Seminary, with a minimum involvement of three years by the student.

Any students desiring these credits must see the Registrar for information, approval and validation of credits.

Practicum credits accrue at the rate of five credits per one hundred hours of internship. Up to fifteen credits may be earned in any degree program in a pre-approved ministry or training setting. A $100.00 fee will be charged for each unit of five credits. See page 36 for more information.    

Independent and Distant Learning

At this time independent studies are not generally available. However, occasionally a student may wish to attend a class outside the Seminary, or do an independent study which is deemed appropriate to their particular course of study.

Credits can be arranged thorough the Registrar's office for these courses. Signed agreements and credit determination will be placed in the student's permanent file at the time authorization. This avoids any misunderstanding between the student and the Seminary regarding credit value or fees.

For independent studies,  fees shall be charged at the same tuition rate as regular classroom instruction.

Contact the Registrar for information regarding these programs.
