Accelerated Degree Programs

For those who qualify, the NTS-AADP accelerated graduate online degree programs allow students to earn Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate seminary degrees in less than 1 year, in some cases by writing a Thesis or Dissertation only.
*Pre-Qualification through transcripts is a requirement to document prior educational experience. PLA (Prior Learning Assessment) is provided for all accelerated Bachelor Degree Programs.

Our low cost and recognizable quality, supported by the MOODLE education system, have brought students from major Seminaries, Bible Colleges, and Christian universities to Northwestern to earn master's and doctoral degrees through our AADP accelerated degree programs.

Northwestern Theological Seminary is conservative, Evangelical, and non-denominational.

We accept online seminary applications from members of all Christ-centered, mainstream denominations. We know that members of the body of Christ can hold different doctrinal positions yet be united as one through our gift of faith in the Lord's death on the cross, burial, and resurrection from the dead.

A United States-based theological educational ministry since 1980, we have elected to maintain our physical seminary headquarters in the USA. However, we have established hundreds of branches of Northwestern Seminary worldwide. Our online seminary offers a variety of full Biblical curriculum, while our physical branches offer a basic undergraduate degree.
