Denominational Requirements and Online Courses

The Office of Admissions encourages prospective students who are considering ordination to be in conversation with their denominational ordination boards as they discern their next steps in theological education. Some traditions have specific requirements around how many courses a student must take in-person to be considered for ordination. United Methodist students are required to take 1/3 of their courses in-person to qualify for ordination as an elder or a deacon.
