In the fall of 2000 Southwestern began offering master's courses online. A student may complete up to one third of a degree plan online.
Most of the courses are asynchronous which allows the student to log on to the class at the time of one's choice. Students enrolling in an online course should expect to have at least a similar workload as an on-campus class. A student must be accepted to the seminary prior to enrolling in classes. There is a different fee structure for online courses. Currently courses are offered online during the fall and spring semesters for the master's level.
Online learning enriches the educational experience by bringing together in one class students from around the world. In the past individuals living in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida, California, Arkansas, New Mexico, Washington, Virginia, South Carolina, Kentucky, Hong Kong, Russia, France, Germany, and The Netherlands have enrolled in online courses.
