Each Southern Seminary Online (SSO) and Hybrid-Modular (MD) course can be applied to any master’s program that requires that particular course. The courses available have been carefully selected to cover requirements of the many programs and concentrations here at Southern.
Most Online and Hybrid-Modular courses fit within the six 8-week terms which constitute an academic year. However, some courses are spread over two terms and are thus 16 weeks in duration. (For example, 22400WW Beginning Greek is marked as a 16-week course scheduled for the Spring 1 term; this course offering thus begins at the start of the Spring 1 term and concludes with the end of the Spring 2 term.) Both 8-week and 16-week courses entail the same content and course requirements, and the only difference between them is that a 16-week course spreads that content across a longer period of time than its 8-week counterpart.
Please note that the online course schedule is subject to change and that Southern Seminary reserves the right to cancel or amend any course offering to best serve our academic community.
