Program Design
In an online community of peers and professors, you will begin studies across topics including introductions to biblical studies, growth and change in the Christian life, counseling models and process, and more. Courses consist of lectures and readings, regular small-group discussions, and assignments designed to grow you in life and ministry.
You will continue learning as you move into advanced topics that apply earlier classes and concepts to more complex issues in theology, ministry, and counseling. Deepen your relationships with your peer community and practice applying the principles of biblical counseling in your local ministry. You will also gain more practical experience in real-world ministry under the guidance of a mentor in your local area.

Biblical Counseling Training
We offer this degree in partnership with the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation (CCEF), an organization with more than 50 years of biblical counseling and teaching experience. Our degree combines theology and biblical studies courses taught by Westminster faculty with Christian counseling courses taught by CCEF faculty. This program provides students with the opportunity to reflect on the relationship between theology, psychology & physiology while gaining a thorough understanding of people as sufferers, sinners & saints.

- Pastors and campus ministers caring for their congregations
- Nurses and doctors providing both urgent and long-term care
