@Dearly Bought did a large portion of his work at PRTS online. I don't think he gets on here much these days, but you might try messaging him.

I am currently a Th.M. online student at PRTS. What would you like to know? And are you interested in M.Div.? Or higher degrees?

Thanks all.
I am just wondering what the course work is like, how the classes are run, what textbooks are used, etc.
I am going to pursue an MDiv and try to finish it while in the military using online classes and intensive courses. What I will likely end up having to do is finish my degree at Greenville, but I may have to start it a Puritan due to the fact that military tuition assistance won't pay for classes at Greenville due to accreditation.
With that said, I may have money for school leftover, so depending on how I do at the MDiv level I may pursue a higher degree. But I don't want to get ahead of myself. Either way, I would still be interested in hearing what the online ThM program is like.

You can do two versions of it: course-based (12 courses, called the terminal Th.M., because most who go this route do not wind up going further) or thesis-based (8 courses and a thesis, preferable for those wanting to go to a Ph.D. afterwards). So far, I have found it to be quite rigorous (though I am only two classes in at the moment). The reading for one class was around 1500 pages with around 80 pages of writing to do. So far, the other course is a bit lighter, clocking out at around 1200 pages of reading and 50 pages of writing. It is inexpensive. An entire Th.M. costs around $8k, I'm estimating. There are many textbooks that are used. Even with just two classes, it would take quite a while to list them all.

Doesnt GPTS have a mentor supervision requirement for distance learning?
