The Advanced Track Program reduces the number of hours required for the degree at Carroll Seminary by 25%, allowing students to complete their degree in less time because the program builds on competencies already learned through the Stark Bachelor of Arts in Ministry program.

B. H. Carroll Theological Seminary is a trailblazer in the area of theological education, using technology and the local church to enrich the ministry practice of its students. Through the formation of collaborative communities of learning, Carroll nurtures the souls and sharpens the minds of both faculty and students alike.

- Dr. Wade Berry, Resident Fellow, New Testament Greek

Carroll Theological Seminary is not only a superb theological education (and it is that)—but it is also an immersion into Christian ministry. Jesus said, “As you go, become disciple-makers” (Matt. 28: 19-20). Carroll is about developing the best “disciple-makers” possible.

- Dr. Budd Smith, Distinguished Senior Fellow (Ministry and Formation)
