Northwestern Theological Seminary offers both undergraduate and graduate online degree programs to its students. The seminary does not charge set tuition fees, but instead asks for donations from its students in order to support expenses. All classes are independent study programs, so students can enroll at any point throughout the year and work through the courses at their own pace. NTS offers students free access to their online library, which is one of the largest Christian-based libraries archived online, so no costly textbook purchases are necessary. NTS also offers accelerated learning programs for students who qualify, meaning a motivated student could achieve a master's or doctorate degree in around 1 year. Curriculum options include Christian counseling, ministry, Christian-based social work and theology.
