Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary

Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary is committed to preparing spiritual leaders in every stage of their lives and ministries. Therefore, we are continuously implementing new and emerging technologies which allow us to use non-traditional methods of instruction; specifically, online courses.

We have twelve accredited online courses offered in a two-year rotation. These classes fulfill the requirements for the Basic Graduate Theological Studies (BGTS) program, and many of the required courses for our master's degree programs and United Methodist Certification programs. 

All online courses are open to students enrolled in one of Garrett-Evangelical’s graduate degrees, certificates, or enrichment programs.
