Doctorate or no?

Looks intriguing, but I'm not sure it's available online.

Both the master's and doctorates from St Augustine should be available online.

Interesting. I read through the catalog/prospectus and understood from it that the Masters at least is on-campus. Or maybe that's just the MPhil in Philosophy? I admit I was paying closer attention to that since that aligns exactly with my interests while the religious degree does not.

Update: Just looked again and only the Higher Certificate in Biblical Studies is distance, which undergraduate level: https://www.staugustine.ac.za/wp-content...230830.pdf Is that a change from the past?

Hmm, does the offered MPhil in Philosophy have classes on religion or anything similar as requirements? I see most of these cheap offerings are all for their church or religious degrees.

St Augustine has transitioned in recent years to being largely online. They describe their programs as "blended," using the term "blended" differently than it is generally used in the United States: they mean that they stream lectures synchronously online. Students access the programs from all over the world.

MPhil in Philosophy is not a religious degree and is geared toward students of all/any/no faiths. There are no required religion courses. I imagine the course on philosophy of human dignity is heavily influenced by Catholic thought, but the courses in general  appear fairly secular.

Thanks. I'll contact them.
