Flexible Delivery Modes

Our desire is to make a TEDS education accessible to all—at the same time maintaining our commitment to community building in a face-to-face context. We continue to work to create delivery options and plans that address the needs of students with a variety of scheduling needs. Visiting students and noncredit auditors who wish to attend courses for personal enrichment are also welcomed.

Though the availability of particular courses varies from semester to semester, courses applying to the Certificate in Biblical and Theological Studies, the Master of Arts (Theological Studies) (MA/TS), the Master of Arts in Educational Ministries (MA in EM), the Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies (MA in ICS), or the Master of Divinity (MDiv) may all be completed in a combination of nontraditional modes. 

TEDS provides classes in a variety of formats and times. This includes weekly on-campus classes, synchronous classes using video conferencing, asynchronous online classes, and short-term modular classes. Details of times and locations can be found in the schedule for the specific semester.

Extension site, TEDS online, and modular coursework can be combined in a number of ways to complete major portions of these programs. Prospective and accepted students are encouraged to consult with the Admissions Office or a program advisor to determine possible options.

Not all courses are available in each format. Students should consult the various academic advisement tools available for specific program planning and note any limitations that may exist for program completion.

Current and projected course schedules are available online on MyTIU.
