The South African Theological Seminary (SATS) in April graduated twenty with the MTh (Master of Theology) and four with the PhD. The MTh may be done either by coursework or research. The PhD is by research only. One with no formal training in Religion may enter the MTh after completing either three bridging courses or the BTh (honours-six courses). SATS is an Evangelical distance education school with full accreditation. Tuition is quite reasonable. I've been on the SATS faculty about four years.
I love SATS, was once on faculty, but I think the new financial arrangement was not well thought out. A years tuition up front is not doable for me, even when broken down into three consecutive payments. Were it not for that I would be working on the MTh. Just my .02 worth. Again, a very good school with fantastic degrees.
Thanks for the update Bill. Looks like the faculty is getting stronger and stronger [you included]. Keep up the good work!!
