All courses except one are offered in a one-week intensive format and are worth one full course credit or three continuing education units (CEU's). The courses are suitable for a broad range of purposes: for CEU's and for Master of Arts, Master of Divinity, Doctor of Ministry and other graduate programs. Laypersons, rostered church professionals, pastors and seminarians will find courses that enrich their lives and ministries.
A number of courses have specific prerequisites, and certain categories of students will be given preference for some courses (for example, D.Min. in Preaching students for the electives in preaching). Most courses have a limit of 20 students, while the preaching courses have a limit of 15. Courses are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Ordinarily, students may take only two courses. Most courses meet 8:30-4:30, including chapel and lunch.
Students register through one of the participating seminaries. All registrations should be sent to the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. Further information about registration, tuition, and courses can be obtained from the Office of Extension Education at LSTC. The phone number is 773-256-0723.
