Reformed Seminaries (MDiv degrees)

How I came up with this list:

  • Search in google: "masters of divinity distance learning reformed"
  • Here is a list from another blog.
  • Here is a discussion board of people who have suggestions.


Accredited

Nonaccredited, but member of a peer-review association

Nonaccredited


Thoughts from some guy:

"Students considering an unaccredited school should think carefully about whether there is a legitimate reason for a school not being accredited or whether a school lacks a real accreditation (i.e. one recognized by the Department of Education) because it is simply a poor school and thus, likely, a waste of money. There are more than a few home-made seminaries, which are unable to provide the necessary education, which lack a qualified faculty, which lack the necessary library (and other) resources, that are all too ready to take your money and give you a degree. Would you attend medical school in someone’s basement? Would you trust your health to a physician trained at such a school? Why we should entrust the care of our congregations to pastors trained at home-made seminary? Consistories/sessions, classes/presbyteries and other bodies should consider why should we are sometimes willing to accept lower standards in our seminaries than we would for medical schools."
