I’m not a member of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Can I still take online classes?
Absolutely! The University of Dubuque Theological Seminary welcomes students from every denomination. Our CLP program is specifically designed for lay pastors in the Presbyterian Church (USA), but we do not discriminate our admissions based on denomination. You will want to check with your judicatory to make certain they will accept an online degree from UDTS for ordination. Our residential community includes Presbyterians, Methodists, Congregationalists, Disciples, and Reformed, just to name a few. Our online classes include Presbyterian-specific courses to help those students prepare for their denomination’s ordination exams, but we also offer electives for non-PC(USA) students. No matter which denomination you belong to, you belong at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary: our calling is to be a place where diversity is appreciated and Christian love is practiced.
