Online Courses
The North American Lutheran Seminary network offers a full array of online courses, through TSM, to achieve a Diploma or Certificate in Lutheran Studies. Please contact us at TSM.
What to Expect
The Office of Online Education offers a range of courses on a rotating basis each Fall, Spring, and Summer. The courses mirror the residential courses: semester-long classes, weekly reading and assignments, regular interaction with the faculty and class members, and an average of 8–12 hours of study, per week, per course.
The coursework is largely asynchronous—students are not required to be online at the same time. However, there are some synchronous components in some courses (chat sessions, conference calls or web-conferencing). Participation in these discussions, combined with the other assignments, demands an extensive amount of reading and writing.
