Yes, primarily through our Church Partnership Program.
The Church Partnership Program is designed to strengthen the relationship between Knox and the local church that ultimately makes seminary education more financially accessible for students. When you invite your local church to financially partner with you in your educational journey, Knox will match their contribution dollar for dollar on your behalf up to one-third of the total cost of tuition. The maximum benefit per student is up to two-thirds of tuition costs covered! The Church Partnership Program is available to all students and their partnering church. Learn more about the program here.

Online, 3 credit hour courses are typically 8-weeks long (language courses are 16 weeks) and are "asynchronous". Each week students have a certain amount of work that must be completed, including readings, video lectures, and often an assignment (quiz, paper, etc.). Students complete the work at their own pace and submit their assignments by the end of that week.
The online “terms” (8-week course blocks) have their own start dates, which typically run back-to-back. Most of our masters level students take one 8-week course at a time over the six major online terms (this pace yields 18 credits a year).
Check out our online course schedule.
