This flexible schedule helps to relieve the pressure of meeting a specific and set deadline that formal semester/term programs have.
Each student custom designs their program and charts their schedule and progress with the Academic Dean/Advisor. There is no limit to the number of courses that a student can register for and there is no minimum number of courses that a student should take. As a student completes a course, they can register for the next one in the series (or two or three). The interactive and dynamic educational Masters and Doctoral Program here at Sacred Journey Interfaith Seminary allows students the flexibility to succeed in the program at their own pace. The Academic Dean provides individual guidance to each student assisting in goal-setting and course selection, aiding students in tailoring their own academic experience. | ||
