Online Seminary through FLEX Scheduling
If time and distance have been hindering you from answering God’s call, talk to your Saint Paul advisor about FLEX scheduling.
It’s a more convenient option for students who are unable to pursue their studies on-campus full-time. Theology courses are available in at least two of the following three formats:
- Online: Lecture materials and coursework available online. United Methodist students may take up to ⅔ of their courses online.
- Classroom: Traditional face-to-face learning for students who are on-campus.
- Hybrid: A combination of online and classroom activities.
Hybrid courses include one on-campus FOCUS week per semester. FOCUS weeks offer community-building opportunities between hybrid and on-campus students. Activities include Spiritual Formation Retreats, hands-on practicums and learning experiences with faculty members and pastors.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your ministry journey, we invite you to apply online for enrollment in the Master of Divinity program at Saint Paul.
