Auditing a Class

Nearly all of Wesley's courses for masters students may be audited. The technical status for an auditor is as a "listener," one who is (depending on the instructor) not required to participate in classroom discussions nor complete assignments. Tuition for audit is $100 per credit hour. Alumni may audit 1 course per academic year at no charge. Please note: Courses taken for audit will not earn graduate-level credit and cannot be applied toward a masters degree at Wesley. Please continue to Step 1 of the Application

Continuing Education

Continuing Education Units (CEU) : Many professional church staff and clergy are required to obtain CEUs on an ongoing basis throughout their career. The same courses that are available for audit may also be taken for CEUs. For UMC staff and clergy fulfilling requirements, explore the guidelines for continuing education here. Please note: Courses taken for CEUs will not earn graduate-level credit and cannot be applied toward a Master's degree at Wesley. Tuition: $100 per CEUƗ Ordained clergy, diaconal ministers, or full-time lay denominational employees may enroll in regular semester courses and receive Continuing Education Units. Ɨ For billing purposes, one semester hour equals 1.5 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Please continue to Step 1 of the Application
