To effectively engage the culture with the Gospel, you will need a deeply integrated understanding of philosophy, theology, and apologetics. This integrated approach is the core of every SES program. Whether you’re seeking a degree or certificate in apologetics, philosophy, biblical studies, or something else, the foundation is the same. Good philosophy provides a solid foundation from which to do theology, and both provide necessary tools for sound apologetics. Together, all three disciplines aid in removing obstacles to the Gospel (evangelism) and in building mature disciples who live the Gospel (discipleship) and are steadfast in the truth. This integrated apologetics-focused approach is what you will receive in nearly every course at SES.
SES uniquely integrates classical apologetics, theology, and philosophy throughout each program to equip you to proclaim & defend the Gospel
Our immersive digital campus offers robust online education with live-streaming, recordings, library access, and community
SES offers incredible value by providing first-class education and academic rigor with very low tuition and numerous financial aid/discount opportunities
SES is accredited by TRACS and offers academically challenging, yet practical, Christian education to equip you for any number of areas of ministry
SES offers a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies designed to prepare students for later graduate work in apologetics, philosophy, biblical studies, and more. Some hours can even be applied to M.A. studies.
In addition to apologetics degrees, several academically rigorous Masters degrees are available that provide students with integrated and in-depth studies that will prepare you for ministry or doctoral work.
A Doctor of Ministry in Apologetics (D.Min.) as well as a Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy of Religion (Ph.D.) offer students opportunities to develop their own research and practical resources.
I can’t recommend SES any more highly. … There’s no better place to come to get to know God and make Him known.
SES provides a truly unique opportunity to examine the evidence for Christianity. It’s accessible, engaging, and relevant.
I can hardly find words to express how thankful I am for SES. … they literally shepherded me … through my faith reconstruction.
My time at SES strengthened my faith. It gave me the why behind the what.
Thank you … for putting together a program that is both intellectually challenging and applicable in [today's] landscape.
The philosophy that undergirds SES truly stands out among seminaries.
"It's good if you attend a great school whose professors select quality readings, have good teaching, foster discussion, and give assignments that help you grow more in understanding than you ever would have on your own. This is true at SES. Every class and book have been worthwhile."
