Academics
Sancta Sophia Seminary provides a variety of courses and programs centered around esoteric Christianity. As a progressive Christian theological seminary, we welcome all students, whether for one class or for a course of study preparing you to live and serve as a spiritually awakened leader. You will be sure to find a study program that suits your unique needs if you are:
- Just beginning your esoteric and metaphysical studies
- Ready for training in pastoral counseling
- Seeking a career in spiritual counseling
- Looking for a graduate program in Christian theology
- Ready to earn a Master of Divinity degree
- Exploring non-denominational ordination and licensing
- Or interested in any other course of esoteric studies (View our Course Catalog page for class descriptions and schedules.)
Sancta Sophia offers several accredited programs of study. Whether your goal is pastoral counseling training, ministerial ordination, or completing a Doctor of Ministry or other program, your esoteric studies will consist of directed home-study, on campus classes, meditation techniques, practicums, and one class week of residency per trimester, in February, May, and September. As a part of your enrollment, you will be assigned a personal advisor to guide you in designing a course of esoteric studies to meet your individual interests and goals.
Because a portion of your interfaith seminary studies will be done at home, you begin when you are ready. Depending upon your course of study, you will also be required to be on campus for certain one-week classes.
Sophia Online offers several distance learning courses for credit in esoteric Christianity and other offerings designed especially for those who are interested in personal growth and/or non-traditional subjects of spiritual interest. Enrolled students and non-enrolled students are invited to learn more at Sophia Online.
