Do I need to move to the Clarks Summit area in order to begin the M.Div. program?
No. BBS offers a variety of non-traditional educational options, including courses taught over the Internet and one- and two-week modular classes throughout the school year (February, May, and October). It is possible to complete over 50 percent of the credits required for graduation this way. Many students find these options a great way to begin their training at BBS before moving to the Clarks Summit area to finish the degree. However, it is not possible at this time to complete the entire Master of Divinity degree through distance education courses. Moving to the Clarks Summit area is necessary if you wish to finish the degree program.
