I am currently taking graduate theology courses at a seminary but due to financial and time restrictions am finding this hard to complete. I am looking to study theology and was hoping that there were some free formation programs available somewhere on the net or (not as desirable) at a low discounted price. Ideally, I would like to be able to listen to some lectures and do some follow up readings, without having to do essays, exams and pay high tuition associated with traditional courses – as such, ruling out distance learning institutions like FUS. I know in the past there has been a thread that listed various sites and podcasts that discussed the faith, albeit in a more apologetic tone. I was hoping there was something similar for dogmatic and systematic theology – Mariology, sacramental theology, ecclesiology, moral theology, Christology, etc. I know that there is a great interest in my area for such a formation program. Many lay people are eager to study the faith more in depth but cannot due to similar limitations as myself.
 
Check out www.theologyphoenix.com. 3rd quarter classes: January 24 - March 1.

May not meet your needs, but then again perhaps it will. It’s worth a look. They’ve already had some super classes since this program launched. Don’t know the cost.

I’m sorry to hear about your situation. I know it can be hard to balance life, school, work, finances, etc. It gets overwhelming from time to time, and a lot of people just give up. Kudos to you for being determined to continue your education Online Degree’s career guides offers information for theology courses as well as others. I have found that the website can answer questions about online programs and guide you in the right direction. I hope you find a program that works for you. Don’t give up on your education - investing in yourself and your future is and will continue to be one of the best decisions you have ever made.
 
Hi Future,

If your diocese is a Catholic Distance University (CDU) partner, the seminars are quite affordable. If they are not a partner, you might inquire to see if they would consider becoming a partner - it is not hard for the diocese, and it is a great way for a diocese to make a solid education available to more of the laity.
