Distance Study
Undergraduate Distance Units
At present Malyon offers four undergraduate distance units each semester. This makes up the first year of a Bachelor of Ministry (BMin) or Bachelor of Theology (BTh). Students wishing to complete the full degree by distance can easily continue their study with a wide range of units from other ACT distance providers or change to attendance mode.
In 2011, a new lecturer will be working on developing our online learning and it is expected that many more units will be offered by distance over the next few years.
We are especially keen to establish a supportive relationship with distance students in Queensland.
In 2011 we offered the following distance units:
Semester 1
NT301 - Content and Setting of the Gospel Traditions (Intro to NT 1 - The Gospels)
OT301 - Formative Old Testament Traditions (Intro to OT 1 - Creation to the Kingdom)
CH424 - The Reformation in Europe and Britain
PC301 - Ministry Formation
Semester 2
NT302 - The Early New Testament Church (Intro to NT 2 - Acts and Epistles)
OT302 - From Israel to Judea (Intro to OT 2 - Kings and Prophets)
CH305 - Early Church History (30-451)
PC447 - Introductory Preaching
Further information is available in the Distance Information brochure.
Graduate Distance Units
Malyon offers eight graduate distance units each year. This makes up a full Graduate Diploma (GradDipDiv) or the first year of a Master of Divinity (MDiv). According to ACT regulations, only one year of an ACT MDiv may be completed in distance mode. Students wishing to complete the MDiv will therefore need to change to attendance mode. Students who would like a wider range of distance unit options can choose from the broad variety of units offered by other ACT distance providers without changing colleges. Contact the Registrar if you want further information.
In 2011, a new lecturer will be working on developing our online learning and it is expected that may more units will be offered by distance over the next few years.

Postgraduate Distance Units
Malyon offers five Master of Arts in Ministry (MAMin) units by distance over a two year cycle. Combined with a two unit project, this allows almost the whole MA(Min) (7 out of 8 units) to be completed by distance study. The units offered are primarily designed for pastors and church leaders who find attendance difficult, but we also have a number of overseas mission leaders completing the MA(Min) by distance. All our other MA units are offered by one week intensives (with significant pre-intensive preparation and post-intensive assignments).
In 2011 we offering the following distance units:
Semester 1
PC779 - Advanced Pastoral Relationships
Semester 2
PC754 - Pastoring in the 21st Century
CH759 - Denominational History (Baptist) [theological emphasis]
PC762 - Denominational History (Baptist) [history emphasis]
