Yes. We are sponsored by the Aquarian Tabernacle Church and are recognized by the State of Washington Board of Higher Education as a Religious Seminary able to grant degrees in Wiccan Ministry.

Yes, you can get  a degree in Wiccan Ministry with us.  Currently, we offer Associates and Bachelor degrees. We hope to reinstate our  Master’s and Doctorate Degree programs soon. Currently we offer stand alone graduate courses and a graduate certificate program. You can also earn a Wiccan traditional First, Second and Third Degree, if you choose the Initiatory Path, and are accepted into the program.

The WSTS is not accredited by a federally recognized Accreditation Board at this time.  There currently is no federally recognized Accreditation Board for Wiccan Seminaries. 

We are a legal degree granting institution, recognized by the Washington Student Achievement Council to grant the following degrees Associate in Ministry (AM); Bachelor in Ministry (BM); Master in Ministry (MM); and Doctor in Ministry (DM).  Our MM and DM programs are currently not running.  We do offer stand alone graduate coursework.

Anything you could do with any other religious degree. People with religious degrees serve their chosen communities, teach, minister in social programs such as prison ministry, etc.

Yes, you can! The student does not have follow the program in order to take classes and the Associates Degree is perfect for you. While the second year will require a bit more leadership work, it does not get into the more advanced clergy work.

Probably not. Our program is Wiccan.  We do not teach a specific tradition. You are welcome to take any 100 level elective class by itself on a pay per class basis. However, the classes do assume the student accepts the basics of Wiccan tenants such as Reincarnation, Energy, and Balance of the Universe.

Most classes meet once a week for an hour of live class time. Courses are offered twice a year in most cases so if you miss the earlier session, you can take a later session. Some classes offer two days/times as an option.

As a Freshman student, you will need to be online at the very least for your class lab(s) each week (approximately 1 hour per class). At this level, the other activities are optional, but the more time you can spend interacting with your classmates and teachers online – the better! It is necessary for us to get to know you. The actual homework consists of readings, and work to turn in. They have due dates, but you can work on them at your own pace. The average student spends about 5 hours on homework each week.

Your homework must be complete before you elevate to the next class. In the entire coursework, there is only one year that has deadlines, and that is the Sophomore Year. It is a formal Year and a Day training, and in this year, meeting deadlines is part of your training. Your homework for Freshmen must be complete before you elevate to Sophomore, and Sophomore work must be on time for you to graduate Sophomore year. The other years allow you to go at your own pace.

Yes, you can. Your initiation degree will grandfather you in to a higher degree. There are still core classes that every student has to take. If we can verify your degree through reputable sources, you will be recognized at that level. Each student is evaluated on an individual basis by our officers.

Our business office is located in Index, Washington. However, all of our classes are held online in a virtual classroom environment so that all students can participate from within their own homes, regardless of their location. Live classes are hosted online in Microsoft Teams.

Quality! That is the best answer I can offer. We as Wiccans absolutely do not do those types of elevations over the Internet. It would degrade the potency of the position, the respect the community has for our clergy, and the impact of the mysteries gleaned from those holy rites. We do not foresee ever changing this policy.
