Distance Education

GRTS offers the opportunity to complete degrees through a combination of online courses, two-week intensives, and traditional residential semester courses. The Master of Arts Ministry Leadership is designed for experienced ministry leaders to complete their studies without relocating to West Michigan. Other degrees can be completed through a maximum of five online and distance courses.

 

Online Courses

Log on to the internet weekly to respond to course readings and thought-provoking questions, post reflections and research papers, and interact in transformative discussions.


Traditional Distance Courses

GRTS offers 24 distance courses that allow you to complete graduate theological credit without needing access to the internet.  Distance courses consist of lectures on CD/tape, required reading, a mid-term and/or final exam and a semester paper or project. Course materials (i.e. syllabus, required texts, lecture CDs and other supplemental materials) are purchased as a package from GRTS.  Exams are administered through a proctor indentified by the student.
