In the late 1990s, the Antiochian House of Studies (AHOS) was authorized by the University of Balamand to award a Master of Arts Degree in Applied Orthodox Theology to graduates of its distance learning St. Stephen's Course of Studies, after successful completion of a thesis. Three additional tracks were started beyond theology, including youth ministry, musicology and iconology. This facilitated a tremendous program growth, including in the number and percentage of women. Students volunteered to participate in a project that offered course and thesis support, counseling, fellowship and prayer. This was done via telephone, internet and standard mail. Surveys and numerous other contacts identified demographics as well as student ministry goals, program satisfaction and student stated program needs. The study concluded that student support services would enhance distance learning theological education. It recommended optional implementation, particularly for beginning first year students (who do not attend a week of residency until the completion of that year), and for students needing support with developing a master's thesis concept.
