The
purpose of our distance learning program is simple: to bring the Reformed
tradition of biblical, experiential, and Christ-centered theology to as many as
are interested, regardless of location. PRTS desires to train future
leaders around the world who will serve the Church and society with hearts and
minds that have been trained for ministry
in the Reformed, Puritan Tradition.
Nearly
all of the courses taught at PRTS can be taken without actually coming to the
seminary. All of these classes are the same classes taught in our
seminary by our team of gifted professors. The credits earned can then
be applied to both our traditional M.Div. and M.A.R. degrees. Both of these traditional
programs allow a student to complete 50% of their credits via distance
learning.
Certificate Programs
Students who are not interested in pursuing a traditional degree
should consider our certificate programs. Each certificate is eighteen
credits of course work. Admission is not contingent on a previously
earned degree. Most importantly, certificates can be earned entirely via
our distance learning program.
