A small but growing number of schools offer a specifically Baptist course of study today. Many of the top Baptist distance education schools are based in the southern states, though online learning obviously makes it possible for you to take their courses from anywhere.
Distance learning Baptist bible colleges recommended by the respected Wabash Center include the Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond (Virginia), The New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and The Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Baptist distance education tends to be designed for pastors and missionaries or for lay persons who want advanced education, rather than for individuals who want to know more about the bible.
There are also religious schools across the country that educate not just Baptists, but also Methodists, Presbyterians and members of other denominations as well (for an example, look into Colgate Rochester Crozier Divinity School in upstate New York). A few of the top American organizations you can look up on the internet for further reading include the Baptist General Conference (Arlington Heights, IL), The Center for Baptist Studies of Mercer University, The North American Baptist Conference (Oakbrook Terrace, IL) and The Southern Baptist Convention (Augusta, GA). Several carry listings and ads on schools offering Baptist distance education.
