Overview
Bethel Seminary offers a variety of degrees and certificates from a selection of delivery options.
- Face to Face delivery consists of on campus courses meeting on Tuesday or Thursday evenings (most classes are held on Tuesday evenings).
- Online with Intensives programs are available by distance education to individuals who can spend limited time on campus.
- Fully Online programs allow students the option to complete all classes fully online or take a blend of fully online and face to face classes if they so choose.
Online With Intensive Programs
The online with intensives programs are specialized degrees designed for individuals who are able to spend only limited time on the seminary campus. These degree programs incorporate two types of courses, intensive courses and fully distance courses.
- Intensive courses incorporate an on-campus component; a class session that typically meets on campus for one week. This on-campus experience is preceded by faculty-guided preparation using distance education methods and is followed by guided application after the on-campus experience.
- Fully distance courses are supported by interactive technologies that allow students to learn from their professor and fellow students in a collaborative learning community.
