The Course of Study School educates and trains local pastors in The United Methodist Church. To be admitted, students must be certified candidates for ordained ministry, have completed the requirements for license as a local pastor, have been tested in language skills proficiency through a process determined by the annual conference, and received endorsement of the annual conference Board of Ordained Ministry.
The Course of Study School at Emory is sponsored by The United Methodist Church, the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry, the Southeastern Jurisdictional Administrative Council, and Candler School of Theology. For further information email Amy Walker, Associate Director, Methodist Studies, or call (404) 727-4587.

Work that is not received by the deadline will receive a grade deduction of 1/3 letter-grade per day it is late. For example: If your “A” assignment is one day late, it will drop to an A-. If it’s two days late, it will drop to a B+ and so on.
Plagiarism is a combination of stealing and lying. Emory Course of Study uses plagiarism-detection software on every paper you turn in. If you are caught plagiarizing, you will receive academic consequences and your district and annual conference will be notified.
