GBHEM Announces Online Consortium with 13 UM Theological Schools

The General Board of Higher Education and Ministry of The United Methodist Church is pleased to introduce an Online Continuing Education Consortium in collaboration with the 13 United Methodist Theological Schools.  The vision of the consortium is to provide theologically sound, financially affordable, and easily accessible continuing education programs to clergy and lay Christians around the world so they may grow in their theological understanding and leadership skills. 

These non-academic credit courses provided by the participation of the 13 United Methodist theological schools ensure the quality of classes offered.  Each school designs the course, provides the instructor, and handles registrations and payment.  They will manage the technological aspects of providing online courses. 

Costs of these courses will vary, with tuition or fees set by and paid directly to, the theological school that is hosting the online class.  The online consortium catalogue will serve as the gateway, providing a single entry point through an online catalogue and Web links to each theological school that is offering the classes.  It will be open all year round so you will be able to take courses according to your schedule.
