If you want to grow in your understanding of the Bible and ministry, Covenant Seminary has a number of courses you can audit online this Fall semester. Auditing courses allows you to get all of the content without the cost and work associated with taking the course for credit. Auditing a course can also be a good way of seeing if seminary courses are a good fit for your future ministry.

These courses work in two main ways:

• Traditional asynchronous online courses allow you to view lectures at your own convenience while having access to all course materials and an opportunity to sit in as an observer on Zoom meetings with for-credit students, other auditors, and your professor.

• Blended courses bring together both residential and online students at the same time so you will be observing the course live as it happens on campus. Again, you’ll have access to the needed course materials.

Auditors do not complete any group or individual assignments and are generally involved in class only as observers, though individual instructors may at times allow auditors to participate in discussions.

The cost to audit is only $48 per credit hour.
