Important Questions

Does ministry experience automatically become academic credit?

No. Relevant prior learning must be supported by acceptable evidence and evaluated against the requirements of the selected program. The seminary communicates any approved award in writing.

How long will my program take?

There is no universal completion time. Timing depends on the academic plan, recognized prior learning, remaining requirements, learner progress, and applicable review schedules.
