Our Methods

The American Institute of Holistic Theology offers distance learning to an international community of students. Each student works closely with an admissions advisor to decide upon a course of study and, once decided, to progress at a pace of his/her own choosing. Students may work from their homes or whatever environment is conducive to progress.

Our coursework is deliberately intended to focus both on the student’s individual spiritual growth as well as on the field of ministry in which that student will serve. Therefore, students are encouraged to follow their own learning path by choosing courses that match their individual transformative desires. Simultaneously, students are encouraged to pursue course work that will enable and empower them to serve in the ministry or service of their choice.

Our coursework is intended to encourage each student’s independent study. Therefore, students will be challenged with both written and experiential assignments. We want our students to explore both their interior and their exterior worlds. Though we grade them on tests, we do not tell them what to expect from their experiences and experiments. Rather we encourage openness and independent thinking. Throughout each of the programs the student will be aided in developing an independent approach to interfaith practice and ministry.
