Classes at Bloy House are held on Friday nights and Saturdays, enabling the student employed during the week to engage in a full round of studies. The curriculum consists of 63 units of work in the basic subject areas of theological education, designed to offer the student a broadly-based foundational program. Semester-long courses are primarily 3 units each; however, there are some 2-unit and 1-unit required courses.

Full-time study at most residential seminaries represents a load of 12 units (four courses) per semester, while Bloy House students can proceed with taking three courses (up to 9 units) per semester, generally completing more than the first two years of an M.Div. degree in Bloy House’s four-year program.

Because Bloy House’s courses are graduate-level work, students are required to hold a bachelor’s degree to enroll as a student taking courses for credit. In some cases students who do not hold a bachelor’s degree may audit Bloy House courses with permission of the Dean.

Faculty members of Bloy House hold doctorates or are candidates for the Ph.D. in their respective fields, and they represent several Christian denominations. All of them hold appointments as adjunct faculty members of Claremont School of Theology. Because of our Joint Master of Divinity Program, the CST faculty approves both Bloy House’s teaching staff and curricular changes, allowing our program the continuing critical review by the world-class body of scholars and teachers with whom we are privileged to be in close relationship.
