Distance Learning
St. Petersburg Seminary and Yeshiva recognizes that many individuals who want to study the Bible and theological topics, perhaps to complete a seminary degree, are not able to attend classes at the Clearwater, Florida campus. For them, a number of distance courses have been prepared for “Anytime Anywhere Learning.”
​
The list of currently available distance courses is shown on the second page of the Schedule of Classes.
​
These distance courses are a great option for students living in another state or country who would like to study independently or at a more leisurely pace. They generally consist of a CD or MP3 recording of the lectures with the syllabus and reading list included.
​
Courses may be started at any time. The required work should be completed within four months, the length of a school term, though an extension may be granted if necessary.
​
These courses are part the requirements for degree programs of both the Seminary and of Netzer David International Yeshiva. They include such favorites as Biblical Hermeneutics, Jewish Roots I and II, Biblical/Messianic Apologetics and others.
​
Those related to Messianic studies fulfill the requirements of the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations (UMJC) for licensing and ordination.
​
In order to take distance courses, it is necessary first to apply for enrollment in the Seminary, as described under the heading, Prospective Students/Admissions Program. In addition to the regular tuition there is a distance fee of $50 per course to cover the cost of mailing and supplies.
