Virtual Learning Offers New Opportunities for Graduate Students
Graduate students in the Master of Theological Studies (MTS) program at Grebel usually learn together in small classes. The pandemic this year has turned the program’s teaching model on its head, as professors have adapted and even reconstructed their courses for the ease of learning and connecting virtually. Because of the online platform, the courses are reaching more students who are excited to learn.

Readings, Fire Pits, and Online Chats are Building Community
Grebel’s graduate programs are full of discussions and interaction in class and beyond. Traditionally, students engage with one another in the classroom, during breaks, lunch, and after class.
