Online Campus Program Summary
ONLINE PROGRAMS
Master of Arts (Biblical and Theological Studies) Degree
Western Seminary recently announced that the 64-hour Online Master of Arts (Biblical and Theological Studies) is now open for enrollment. Students - regardless of location - will be able to pursue an online degree program that reflects the unique ethos and values of Western Seminary.
The program builds a strong understanding of theology rooted in a thorough investigation of the scriptures, with an eye toward gospel-centered transformation. When paired with a powerful online delivery option, we believe the MABTS will help to meet the ministry training needs of a new, global, community of Western Seminary students.

Graduate Studies Diploma
Earn the 30-credit Graduate Studies Diploma (GSD) fully online. Along with the Graduate Studies Certificate, the program may be appropriate for church and parachurch ministry workers, mission personnel,Christian educators, Christian laypersons, marketplace leaders...indeed anyone who desires serious biblical and theological training to prepare them for effective ministry service. The GSD effectively represents one year of a Master of Arts or Master of Divinity degree program, and, if care is taken in course selection, hours earned may be applied to these programs. Interested students should consult the Admissions Office.
Graduate Studies Certificate
The 16-credit Graduate Studies Certificate (GSC) represents the credit program gateway to theological studies. The program is an ideal opportunity both to engage rigorous academic study, and to open the door to further preparation for ministry. Credits earned in the GCS may be applied toward the graduate studies diploma or Western's other graduate-level programs.
IN-MINISTRY DEGREE PROGRAMS
Master of Divinity Degree
Students may also earn up to 2/3 of the 90-credit Master of Divinity (MDIV) degree through distance learning. The remaining 30 credits may be earned through in-ministry or week-long intensives, eliminating the need to relocate to a Western Seminary campus for residency.
Master of Arts Degree
Earn up to one-half of the 64-credit Master of Arts (Biblical and Theological Studies) (MABTS), or 60-credit Master of Arts in Ministry and Leadership (MAML) through distance learning. Then combine those courses with Western's distinctive on-campus in-ministry or week-long intensives to complete your M.A. program in approximately 4 years without relocating to a Western Seminary campus for residency.
ON DEMAND OPPORTUNITIES
Western Seminary Students
At some point in their time with us, the great majority of Western Seminary students will take one or more online courses to supplement the residential component of their degree programs. This remarkable scheduling flexibility has become a hallmark of Western Seminary and serves the educational interests of a new and growing generation of students who are training for ministry as they do ministry.
This option is ideal, too, for students who desire to begin, continue or finish their seminary studies but who cannot, at that time, attend a Western Seminary campus.

The Christian Community
Students may also complete online courses on a course-by-course basis. Western Seminary courses address many of the most important areas of the Christian life and ministry preparation and will help any individual grow in grace and in truth. Christian school teachers in the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) should check with their ACSI offices to ensure that CLL courses will satisfy certification requirements in Bible and professional studies.
