Newburgh Theological Seminary (NTS) is one of two Christian higher education institution located in Newburgh; nevertheless, NTS emphasizes its focus on distance education. Specifically, students can work toward both undergraduate and graduate degrees and receive an Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies or a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Pastoral Leadership, Theology, Ministry or other ministry-associated fields. Advanced degrees offered by NTS include Master's (MA) degrees in Christian Counseling and Theology and Doctorates in Biblical Preaching and Biblical Studies. Though NTS offers some in-person seminars, none of these are required to achieve a degree. Theologically, like Trinity and Master's below, NTS focuses on the Bible as the sole word of God and emphasizes making a salvation decision for Christ.
