Overview
Through the Theological Studies program at Calvin Theological Seminary you will discover the depths of the Old and New Testaments, Greek language, Christian theology, and apologetics.
Residential students can complete their studies in two years at the Grand Rapids campus. They will be able to attend weekly chapels, participate in club activities, and interact with peers on a daily basis.
The three-year distance learning MTS maintains the same high quality of education as our residential program. Taking approximately three courses per semester, distance learning students engage in a hybrid model of learning, completing much of their work online and traveling to campus twice a year for five-day intensives.
