UNION UNIVERSITY TO OFFER SEMINARY EXTENSION COURSES IN NINE WEST TENNESSEE LOCATIONS
JACKSON, June 25-- Union University, in cooperation with local Baptist associations, will offer ten seminary extension courses this winter in nine West Tennessee cities.
Regular University entrance requirements are waived for the courses, which are open to all individuals above 16 years of age. Course work leads toward a diploma in pastoral ministries or Christian leadership.
Up to eight credit hours from the seminary extension program may be transferred to Union for college credit. The classes should not be confused with Union's seminary studies program, a joint project with The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Seminary studies credits may be applied directly toward a seminary degree rather than a diploma. Courses will be offered at the following locations:
