While the core courses in the school curriculum are designed with students coming from the Wesleyan tradition in mind, many of our students come from other church backgrounds. Flexible course assignments allow students to become engaged in topics that are relevant to almost any church context. Theology courses are offered at a distance level.
However, the program is also intended for people who wish to gain a basic theological education. Please note that recognition of BWST credits and degrees are prerequisite for lay and ordained ministry in the United Methodist Church.
