InMinistry Computer System & Software Requirements

The following computer system and software requirements are the expected minimal requirements for students entering Bethel Seminary’s InMinistry Program in the Summer or Fall Quarters of 2007. Students entering the program are expected to keep their computers and software updated. This may involve a system upgrade at least once during their degree program and annual software upgrades. The instructional technology that we employ in the 2007-2008 school year will be based upon these minimal requirements.
