According to Jason D. Baker, author of the Baker’s Guide to Christian Distance Education website, Christian online learning has become a popular option for many. “Since I started tracking programs over a decade ago, I’ve seen tremendous growth in number of schools, universities, and seminaries offering online Christian degrees. I expect that we’ll continue to see significant growth in the years to come.”
The BakersGuide.com directory (http://www.bakersguide.com/directory/) features over 500 online schools, colleges, universities, seminaries, and degrees ranging from virtual homeschooling programs through accredited bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees offered by Evangelical Christian colleges, plus a growing number of theology degree programs offered by international universities. The site combines advice from an experienced distance learner and educator and directory information of available Christian distance and online program to help students take the plunge into Christian distance learning.
