Our Educational Standards

Online theological education is a very practical  resource available  for adult learners. The principle that makes online education acceptable  is: education is not validated because you get it in a physical classroom; rather it is validated by its educational standards. 

This is what  Illinois Theological Seminary cares the most, our educational standards. They are the very foundation of our teaching: Academical Excellence, Spiritual Foundation and Friendly Environment. By practicing this three principles, we believe that we are offering one of the best theological education online. 

1. Academical Excellence

We are very proud of the academic standards we have set for our programs, following good an tested practices by traditional and non-traditional schools in U.S. and abroad. Those standards are seriousness, scholarly  and method.

2. Spiritual Foundation

We are humbly aware that the ultimate purpose  for theological education is to know and serve God better. For us, theological education is not a mere intellectual exercise, it is in fact, a way to get closer to God.

3. Friendly Environment

Without to step down from the above  principles, we are committed to offer a friendly environment to  our students. They will be treat with respect and dignity, as brothers and sisters in the same faith in God. Fairness, respect and friendship will guide our relationship with our students.
