Are you equipped to, as Norm Geisler would say, disciple disciplers and teach teachers? Parachurch ministries are an important resource for providing valuable apologetics and evangelism training to the church. Ministries like CrossExamined, founded by SES alum Dr. Frank Turek, in addition to Norm Geisler International Ministries, Engage 360, and many others help equip thousands each year with the truth of the Gospel. For those wishing to join these efforts in bringing sound Christian thinking to the masses, integrated training in theology, philosophy, and apologetics is a must. SES provides that integrated training that will enable you to equip others to proclaim the Gospel, engage the culture, and defend the Truth.

Flexible Course Delivery

SES provides a fully immersive digital campus experience where every aspect of traditional education is achieved in a virtual environment by integrating industry-leading technologies for live-streaming, course management, and student interaction. Hence, every degree and certificate offered by SES can be completed via our digital campus (the D.Min. program does have limited on-campus requirements). Courses are either live-streamed or offered in a true asynchronous online format (with live-streaming components). Even live-streamed classes are posted back to our course management platform for on-demand viewing. This format enables us to accommodate even the most demanding of schedules. Our digital campus experience allows you to get a first-class education while remaining in your current ministry context.

Recommended Degrees & Certificates

Whether you are interested in a full degree program or simply want to add to your toolkit, SES can help you be equipped. Nearly all degrees can be completed totally online. Note that our certificates are for-credit classes that can be rolled into a degree program at a later date if desired.

Value Beyond Tuition Cost

It is certainly true that in many contexts you get what you pay for. At SES, however, the value of your education will far outweigh the actual costs you pay. Many Christian institutions can cost nearly $2,000 per course for a typical master’s-level education. We provide even more value by offering a unique, and superior, integrated approach to classical Christian thinking at a fraction of the cost. Prices are per credit hour. Approx. $175 of fees may apply.
