Program Information

Students enter the program annually and normally progress on a two-year schedule of coursework (at most a 4-year schedule of coursework), followed by the comprehensive exam and the writing of a successful dissertation. 

The modified residency format allows students to come to campus and take seminars in an intensive format.  Typically students in this format enter as a community of scholars and will remain together through a series of seminars that meet twice annually at various times throughout the year.  Modified residency format allows students to remain in their current position while engaging in Ph.D. studies.

Modified Residency Applied Theology seminars are offered every January and June. Modified Residency Theological Studies seminars are offered in March and October.
