The Western Connecticut Baptist Association offers a seminary extension program for members. This course of study provides pre-college and college-level courses from a Baptist perspective, to prepare lay persons for ministry, church involvement, religious education or mission work. The American Council on Education has approved the Western Connecticut Baptist Association's extension courses for college credit toward a bachelor's degree, though the association itself does not confer the degree.
