Online Courses

During the spring 2008 term, United offered its first online course. The seminary expects that, in time, a reasonable portion of its course offerings will be available online on a regular basis. Most of these courses are likely to be hybrids of face-to-face and online experiences, as is this first one. The number of on-campus meetings required is minimal, with the result that anyone with access to the Internet can access the course. The seminary’s aim is to provide online offerings that match the high quality of its traditional classes, so further offerings will appear slowly. As they become available, they will be highlighted on this page.

Online Courses Offered in the Spring 2008 Term
