The Hybrid-Distance Program is an alternative suitable for those for whom relocation into a full-time residential program is not currently feasible. This enables you to earn a Nashotah House degree while you remain where God has currently called you to serve. What sets Nashotah House apart from other seminaries is the opportunity four times a year (once every quarter) to be formed by the Benedictine rhythms of prayer, work, and study that are fostered by twice-daily worship, academics, meals, and fellowship shared with their Hybrid-Distance cohort and with the greater Nashotah House community.
