Distance Learning
Our internet-enhanced programs make it easy for you to tailor your schedule around school. Using the Fisher’s Net as an online classroom, students complete much of their coursework online, with intensive weekends every few months to round out the experience.
This online classroom format, used in the Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry, the Master of Arts in Health Care Mission, the Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and the Doctor of Ministry in Preaching, provides students with a quality education while they balance school with their full-time ministry positions.
