Try an upcoming course
Taking an upcoming course can help you get a feel for what studying with us would be like. Or, it can supplement study you’ve already done.
Want to explore seminary study?
If you are not an admitted student at AMBS and are not enrolled at another seminary, college or university, your first two courses for credit at AMBS are 50% off regular tuition rates! (Grebel and CMU students, see this exception.)
Students may take up to two courses for credit without having been admitted to one of our degree or certificate programs, with a limit of one course per term.

Hybrid courses
Online work: May 11 – July 24, 2026
Hybrid week on campus: June 1–5, 2026
Tuition due: May 4, 2026
Hybrid courses begin and end with online assignments and interactions. Students are expected to be on campus for one scheduled week during the course for face-to-face interactions with other students and faculty; this allows students to meet the residency requirements of AMBS’s accrediting agency.
Please note: Hybrid courses are generally not available for auditing.
