Academic Programs - Dallas Theological Seminary

Academic Programs
The W. H. Griffith Thomas Memorial Lectureship
was created in memory of William
Henry Griffith Thomas, who helped found
Dallas Seminary. The academic divisions
alternate in inviting speakers who are capable
of insightful analysis of contemporary issues
germane to the division. (For a complete
list of conference titles and speakers see the
General Information section of this catalog.)
SUMMER SCHOOL
In addition to the two-semester academic
year, Dallas Seminary conducts summer
sessions that offer a diversified curriculum
over a 13-week period. The Certificate of
Graduate Studies program and the Master
of Arts (Biblical Studies) can be completed
during Summer School.
Summer School dates are listed in the
Academic Calendar. Summer School schedules
for the upcoming year are published in late
fall. Inquiries about application should be
addressed to the Admissions Office.
All course work for summer classes must be
completed within the time frame in which
the class is offered. (The professor may
extend the due date until the end of the week
following the end of the course at his or
her discretion.)
WINTERSESSION
Dallas Seminary offers a variety of courses
each year in the recess period between fall
and spring semesters. The Wintersession
courses are held in the one- or two-week
period immediately before the spring
semester begins. All coursework must be
completed within one week of the end of
the Wintersession.
EVENING AND WEEKEND COURSES
Dallas Seminary offers a number of evening
and weekend courses during the fall, spring,
and summer terms. These courses offer
those with full-time jobs or other daytime
obligations an opportunity to pursue graduate-level
biblical and theological education.
Courses apply to several of Dallas Seminary’s
degree programs. The Certificate of Graduate
Studies program and the Master of Arts
(Biblical Studies) can be completed during
evenings and/or weekends.
Interested students may contact the
Registrar’s Office for information on
evening and weekend courses offered in
any given semester.
ONLINE EDUCATION
Online Education at Dallas Seminary is
designed primarily to allow students to take
full-credit courses toward a degree program
before making the commitment to move to a
campus location. Online courses are also
ideal for students who wish to continue
study while serving on short-term mission
trips or to balance education with other
responsibilities such as work and family. By
receiving graduate-level preparation through
online courses, other students simply may
wish to supplement their current vocations
or to serve better their families, churches,
or communities.

and are offered regularly in the fall, spring,
and summer semesters.
