United Methodist Doctrine

United Methodist Doctrine Course Flyer - January 2012 

This course will be taught in New Orleans during the J-term 2012 by the Rev. Dr. Ellen Blue, Mouzon Biggs, Jr. Associate Professor of the History of Christianity & United Methodist Studies at Phillips Theological Seminary and a clergy member of the Louisiana Annual Conference.

The class will be taught in a Concentrated Course format, and all contact hours will occur over the course of one week.  Students must also do significant reading and writing before and after that week.

CREDIT:

Can be taken as a two-hour course or a three-hour course.  The three-hour version requires more class time. The two-hour version will be taught all day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning.  An additional one-hour course will be taught on Thursday afternoon and all day Friday.  The one-hour addition will focus on case studies and how doctrine affects UMC practices; students must complete the two-hour course in order to take the one-hour offering.

DATES:

Jan. 9-13, 2012

A student who takes the three-hour doctrine course would pay $675 in tuition, plus $235 in student fees, plus a $60 application fee (unless he or she is already a seminarian elsewhere, in which case the application fee is $25).
