St. Paul Residential Program
At Bethel Seminary in St. Paul, the majority of our students are enrolled in residential programs. They’re on campus every week (or everyday) for classes, research, events, and more, whether they choose to commute from their homes or live in seminary apartments.
Daytime Program
Most degree programs are offered through the typical daytime model. Students register each quarter, taking classes according to their program track and desired workload.
To accommodate students who run into other daytime commitments, we schedule some classes each quarter on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Evening courses are available to all students and apply towards a variety of degrees and concentrations.
Evening Program
For the students who can't take on a daytime schedule, we offer some full-time Master of Arts and Master of Divinity programs in the evening through SemPM. Our SemPM programs allow students to register once for a scheduled series of classes—7 per year—that they attend 1 night each week.
