Accreditation Notes: 
The Board of Commissioners has approved the following exceptions to residency, thereby allowing the school to offer the MDiv, MA in Global Leadership, MA in Theology and Ministry, DMin (February 2018), MA in Ministry Leadership, and Doctor of Intercultural Studies (February 2019) completely via distance education modalities. In February 2016, the Board approved a four-year exception, thereby allowing the school to offer doctoral-level seminars via hybrid modality on its main campus, no more than one per year, for each of three concentrations (viz. Old Testament, Church History, and Theology and Culture) in its PhD (Theology) and ThM programs; in February 2019, the Board expanded this exception to a fourth area under the same conditions previously approved and, furthermore, considers this four-year exception (experiment) concluded when the new hybrid course (viz. Preaching and Worship) ends in spring 2019.
