Current changes in the academy. A number of seminaries today are developing extension models, internet study, and intercultural internships. Distance education now augments local campus study in some seminaries, as well as some Bible institutes and Bible colleges. Some extension models are used overseas for training national leaders, as well as missionaries. Advanced degrees are available for those students who qualify.
Internet study is another innovative means of biblical education.
This technology is developing rapidly. Hopefully this can be utilized internationally as well. Intercultural internships help bring together the members of the triad. Internships carried out in local churches at home and abroad enhance the educational process, and benefit the churches by bringing new vision and personal interest in missionary endeavor.
