Independent Study Courses

Here are some basic facts about Seminary Extenison courses that you should know before you start the process of enrolling into them.

First, there are over sixty courses to choose from in three areas: Biblical Studies, Theological/Ethics/History Studies; and Practical Ministries Studies.

Second, these courses are ideally suited for persons who have completed at least their high school diploma but do not plan to pursue a degree. It is true that you can use them to work towards a certificate or diploma program and it is also true that some institutions over the years have accepted some of them for credit towards degree programs. But our ministry objective is to encourage and equip men and women to grow spiritually and improve their knowledge and ministry skills for serving in the local church. You are not required to have completed high school or a GED, but individuals who enroll without a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent may only take the courses for personal growth. If your goal is to use them toward a Seminary Extension certificate or diploma, or you hope to use them as credit hour transfer courses to other educational institutions, then you must have your official high school or GED transcript sent directly to Seminary Extension from the institution where you graduated.

Third, they also provide excellent learning opportunities for lay church members and bivocational ministers who are interested in formal equipping for ministry. Seminary graduates also find these courses helpful as refresher studies. All of our courses may be taken by independent study, and in some cases students are able to form groups so that they can study in certified SE centers.

Finally, our courses use a performance-based or content-based methodology instead of the normal class-hour format. Nevertheless, they require a minimum of 87 hours of study time for successful completion of courses in the 2000 series (GM2500 for instance) and 126 hours of study time for courses in the 3000 series (BB3100 for instance). Application is a key element of our courses so some parts are devoted to evaluating the ministry experience. To achieve our course outcomes, we emphasize student investigation, exploration and the memorizing facts.
