Modular Education
Our seminary offers a unique modular format of education that
attracts students from around the world. Although some courses are
offered in a traditional semester format (like practicum courses,
Greek, and Hebrew), most concentrate the classroom component into
one-week, all-day classes. Students also complete pre- and
post-course work.
Consider the many advantages of modular education:
- Part-time students can remain employed in their job/ministry positions and take a class when their schedules allow.
- Full-time students can study according to a flexible schedule that allows more time for family.
- Intense one-week courses enable increased immersion in a given subject.
- The number of visiting part-time students helps enrich the educational experience of full-time students by adding perspectives from current ministry.
- The one-week schedule allows Briercrest to offer a greater number of adjunct and visiting faculty specialists.
- Briercrest resident faculty are able to stay connected with global needs in ministry by teaching modular courses in various parts of North America and the world.
"The modular format has enabled me to pursue various courses
without uprooting current life and ministry. In the learning
process, I have discovered the networking and sense of community
within each of the classes to be particularly refreshing."
