A professional staff, which includes graduates and faculty of the School, directs the work of the Commission from offices on the OSU campus. The Commission is overseen by an independent Board of Trustees and an Advisory Council, which includes representation from the Theological Consortium of Greater Columbus. Other members of the Commission include the OSU colleges of Education, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Social Work, the School of Allied Medical Professions, their corresponding state professional associations, The Ohio Council of Churches, and the other schools of the Theological Consortium. Faculty from each of these schools participate in teaching the courses. Member schools may enroll an equal number of students in courses to achieve a balanced representation among the professions.
Seminary students register as part of the regular registration procedure.
The Commission was conceived by the late Van Bogard Dunn, the first dean of the School, and its first program director was Robert L. Browning, currently Professor Emeritus of Christian Education at the School. Return to Affiliated Programs page. Academics page Return to MTSO homepage.
