Hi all:

Is it possible to obtain an "accredited" MDIV degree where the majority of study is online? I have a MA but would like to go higher. I see that this can be pretty expensive. Considering I have no limited funds, it can be a bit overwhelming. I have looked at SBTS, Trinity Evangelical in IL, DTS in Texas..etc. Are there many other options?

Thanks...

C

First off, most online schools are not accredited. Secondly, most christian colleges are not accredited either.

So you are starting out with 2 strikes against you. That said, accreditation is only useful for transfering your credits and degrees to another university. If you are looking for a degree I would start with your denomination and find out what colleges they accept degrees from. See if any of them have an online program.

There is a seminary called Illinois Theological that has an online course. They claim to be interdenominational. I looked into them a few years back but our brotherhood of congregations (UMJC, Tikkun) did not like their focus so I did not take any classes. UMJC now has their own school, the Messianic Jewish Theological Institute, which is part of Fuller Theological Seminary.

Another place to look would be the association of theological schools (www.ats.edu). They have a list of accredited seminaries that many denominations accept. Some of them probably have online classes.
