Doctor of Metaphysical Religious Studies: Comparative Religion and Interfaith Theology

Study format, tuition and admissions

Online, self-paced religious study. The current curriculum lists 10 courses and 30 credit hours. Completion depends on meeting the program's academic requirements; no fixed completion time is promised.

Current tuition is $119 per month. Total tuition depends on the number of billed months, not a fixed program total.

New students need program-specific application approval before their first tuition payment. Applicants above Associate level must complete prior-credential review.

Credential recognition
