Degree Programs

Pensacola Theological Seminary (PTS) offers courses that will prepare you for the rest of your life serving Christ. Whether you want to focus on improving your skills as a community leader, be a creator of church music, or expand your knowledge of the Bible and biblical languages, you will find a program to help you achieve those goals.

Many of these programs are built to provide skills that can help pastors, laypersons, and missionaries be more effective in ministry. But even if you’re simply seeking a more robust understanding of the Bible or want to deepen your relationship with God, these programs will help you accomplish that.

If you’re concerned about covering tuition costs, you may want to consider applying for the Graduate Assistant (GA) Program, where students work for PCC to cover tuition expenses while completing their coursework. The GA Program is applicable to most of the seminary degrees offered at PCC, so be sure to ask your academic advisor about the program or contact us for more details.

Go at Your Own Pace

You’ll have the flexibility to work while completing your master’s degree, scheduling courses at a pace that works for you. Most students complete the requirements in 2–3 years, but you will have up to 7 years to graduate. Doctoral students must complete their required credits in 6 years, but those pursuing a Bible graduate certificate can finish in as little as 7 months*.

If you are interested in working on campus, PCC has limited employment opportunities available. And online classes make it easy to earn your degree while working—on campus or off.

*Time to finish depends on certificate chosen, start date, and course rotations. Coursework could extend to 4 semesters.

What Students Say

The online degree from PTS was an easy decision for me. For years I had wanted to complete an M.Div. program. The challenge was finding a school that promoted the fundamentals and values that were important to me, as well as carrying their entire program online. Full-time ministry kept me from residency requirements, and the PTS online degree made all that possible.
