I was excited to see GCTS offer this low residency (it isn't completely online) MAR because of their stellar reputation for being academically rigorous and I thought it might be good exposure for me to a more diverse faculty.
(BTW, the short, required, residential courses are offered only on the Charlotte campus.)
However, after looking at the curriculum I was quite disappointed. I was hoping, since this is a 60 hour MA, it would be comparable to Reformed Theological Seminary's 60 hour MA offered via their virtual campus. It doesn't appear to be even comparable to RTS's and I think someone looking for a non-MDiv that can be earned primarily online, they would be better off - and much better prepared, going the RTS route.
To use Rhet's phrase.....just my two cents! Probably not worth that! -
Not totally online. The program requires "minimal intensive campus residency experiences" (which are not defined). Gordon Conwell is a great school and I'm sure the program will benefit those who can complete it. I do long for the day when these schools realize that such "residency experiences" are outdated and unnecessary.
