How the partnership with Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary works:

Once you are an employee of the CCO, you can make the decision to begin your seminary education through SEMLINK, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary’s Distance Education Program.

SEMLINK provides a convenient way to take courses year-round, either as self-paced independent studies or with other staff in a small learning group seminar setting. No more than 10 SEMLINK courses can be taken for credit for the Master of Divinity degree and a maximum of four can be taken towards the various Master of Arts programs.

Participants are required to either complete a residency component at Gordon-Conwell or to transfer credits to a local seminary to complete the degree.

Admissions Requirements and Procedures

  • A bachelor’s degree is required, normally with a grade point average of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.
  • Applications, catalogs and SEMLINK information are distributed to interested staff and are available through the CCO Training Department.

Financial Information
CCO staff members benefit financially from this unique partnership because the cost is about half of the current GCTS on-campus tuition rate.
