Now’s the time to take that experience further and become even more effective in your ministry, without starting over.

At Holy Apostles College & Seminary, we’re here to help you turn your ESM work into something bigger. Your ESM credits can earn you advanced standing in our Bachelor’s and Master’s programs, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact.

Our online and flexible approach is designed for people in ministry who need options that fit their schedules and their calling.
