University launches online master’s degrees in biblical studies
Posted on 10/5/2010
Adult degree seekers who wish to obtain an education in theology, can now do so online. A growing number of Christian institutions are expanding their religious courses to web-based formats.
For example, Grand Rapids Theological Seminary (GRTS) of Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan is now offering two online master's degrees in ministry leadership and biblical studies, the Morning Star Publishing Company reports.
The master's degree in ministry leadership is designed for those who are in ministry leadership positions and want to grow personally, spiritually and professionally, while the degree in biblical studies was created for students who want advanced theological study.
"GRTS ministry students complete a four-semester ministry residency which provides 'hands on' ministry experience for our students," said Graham McKeague, director of admissions for GRTS. "It has been a great way for students to apply their classroom learning to real-life ministry experience and allows them to be more fully prepared and equipped for ministry upon graduation."
More than 4.6 million students nationwide were enrolled in online courses during the 2008 academic year, according to a recent report by the Babson Survey Research Group and the Sloan Consortium.
