Doing Seminary Online

 

Doing seminary online doesn't mean learning at the kids' table.

When you train online with Western Seminary, you access a rigorous and accredited theological education from wherever you serve. Not only that, you enter into a network of students from over 40 Christian denominations who are energized to study the inerrant and infallible words of the Bible. You'll form lasting connections with them and your professors as you visit our Portland campus together for a week at 2-3 points during your training (varies by program). Those relationships continue on even as you complete your courses from any web-connected device. No matter what program you choose, you can expect an emphasis upon gospel-centered transformation.

Online degree options at Western Seminary include:

  • Online Master of Divinity
  • Online M.A. (Biblical and Theological Studies)
  • Online M.A. in Ministry and Leadership

Western Seminary delivers trustworthy and accessible training for gospel-centered transformation. On campus or online.
