Asbury Seminary Global oversees the Seminary’s extension sites, as well as the online and hybrid degree programs approved by both The Association of Theological Schools (tATS) and the Southern Associaton of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). The learning management system that the students will use to take their online classes is Canvas, one of the industry’s leading systems. Among the different models of online learning, Asbury Seminary believes the one that works best for our students is asynchronous, which means that students are typically not required to be online at a specific time, however they will interact with their fellow students and the faculty within a specific time frame. This model of online learning depends upon high interaction and engagement between faculty and students as well as between each student in a collaborative learning environment. Since online classes require file transfers, extensive dialogue with other students and multimedia, you will need the following equipment in order to participate:

• Computer with Windows 7 or Mac OS 10.6 or above • Account with, or access to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) • High speed internet is preferred For technical and research support, students may contact the Help Desk through the library webpage: http://guides. asburyseminary.edu/home Asbury Seminary’s online courses service graduate degree programs of the Seminary. By taking online courses, students may earn the Certificate in Christian Studies, up to two-thirds of the Master of Divinity degree, or up to one-half of most Master of Arts degree online. The Master of Biblical and Theological Foundations can be completed online. Seventy percent of the Master of Arts [Theological Studies] with no specialization or the Philosophy and Apologetics specialization can be completed online, and sixty percent of the M.A. [Theological Studies] with a specialization in Spiritual Formation can be earned online. Up to seventy-five percent of the Master of Arts [Intercultural Studies], Master of Arts in Leadership, and Master of Arts in Ministry can be completed online. The credit hours required on a geophysical campus might include intensive or hybrid courses or a minimum of one-year of residency. Understanding the changing needs of students, Asbury Seminary has built flexibility into its academic schedule. Students may choose from two campuses, extension sites, multiple degree programs and various course-offering timetables to fulfill their academic goals. Working with an Enrollment Advisor, students move freely within the Asbury Seminary infrastructure to complete their traditional degrees utilizing a blended course plan. Block scheduling maximizes the calendar and minimizes the commute to the Kentucky and Florida Dunnam campuses or one of the extension sites. Flexible course scheduling through the use of one-week intensives, hybrids, fully online, as well as traditional weekly face-to-face courses provides the student with the greatest flexibility in completing coursework toward their degree.
