All but two courses are offered in a one-week intensive format and are worth one full course credit or three Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Two courses are two weeks long. The courses are suitable for a broad range of purposes: CEUs, Master of Arts, Master of Divinity, Doctor of Ministry, and other graduate programs. Laypeople, rostered church professionals, pastors, and seminarians will find courses that enrich their lives and ministries.
A number of courses have specific prerequisites, and certain categories of students will be given preference for some courses (for example, D.Min. in Preaching students for the electives in preaching). Most courses have a limit of 20 students, while the preaching courses have a limit of 15. Once a course has been filled, additional students must obtain permission from the instructor and the LSTC Extension Education Office. Courses are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Ordinarily, students may take only two courses. Most courses meet 8:30-4:30, including chapel and lunch.
Students register through one of the participating seminaries. All registrations are to be sent to the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. Further information about registration, tuition, and courses can be obtained from the Office of Extension Education at LSTC; phone: 773-256-0723.
A Summer Session special event will be the preaching lectures by Prathia Hall Wynn, dean of African American Ministries and lecturer in Christian ethics, United Theological Seminary, Dayton, Ohio. The lectures, sponsored by the ACTS D.Min. in Preaching Program, will be held from 11:30 to 12:30 on June 30, July 1, and July 2, in the chapel-auditorium of the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. There will be a fee of $5.00 per lecture at the door for those not enrolled in the D.Min. in Preaching Program.
