Puritan Board Freshman
I'll start with a little bit of background...
Currently I am active-duty military and will be transitioning out of active service next year. I am looking to continue to work outside of vocational ministry, and my timing does not allow for me to get into full-time in-person seminary. My goals are to remain committed to service within my local congregation, and (Lord willing) I would love to one day serve in leadership (Ruling Elder or Deacon). Also, I would just appreciate the chance to extend my education with a Master's degree and study the things that I am very interested in to become a better educated lay church leader. Due to not (currently) seeking full-time vocational ministry as a Minister/Pastor, and my inability to get into a in-person program, I am considering more of an online Master of Arts degree.
Does anyone have any experience with WTS's relatively new online programs? The production quality and organization seems like it could be very good, but would appreciate any feedback from someone who has actually experienced it. Additionally, RTS has a long history/much infrastructure with the online degree world - any comparisons to WTS's programs or others? Anything/place else to really consider?
Thank you guys for your inputs and help!
