NJ Institute of Theology

With an average of over 1800 enrollments, student success is our focus. That's why we have implemented a unique learning model that allows you to be in the driver's seat of your education. We want you to utilize your past knowledge, capitalize on your experience, and follow the best process for your own learning. That's why we developed a Theological Competency-Based Fast-Track Education Model. We are currently the only institution offering competency-based theological degrees in the state of New Jersey; A model other seminaries, colleges and universities are increasingly striving to implement.

What is competency-based education? Simply put, it measures skills and learning rather than time spent in a classroom. Students progress through courses as soon as they can prove they’ve mastered the material, rather than advancing only when the semester or term ends. If you can learn faster, spend more time on schoolwork, or lean on knowledge you already have from previous work or school experience, you can accelerate through your courses.

This approach is core to our student focus and our Fast-Track learning model for busy pastors and ministry leaders to become the school focused on you. A seminary that is dedicated to delivering what YOU need to succeed in Accomplishing God's calling. 

With 24/7 access to online learning resources to engage with on your schedule, you can embark on a learning journey tailored exactly to your own knowledge—focusing on areas where you need more help and moving quickly through areas you already know or understand. In addition, faculty members are here to provide personalized, one-on-one learning support when needed.
