Certificate in Christian Studies

The Christian Studies Program helps to prepare students who desire training for ministry in the local church but who are not pursuing a full-time ministry position. The program offers three levels of certification:

• The Certificate of Christian Studies (12 semester hours),
• The Advanced Certificate of Christian Studies (24 semester hours),
• The Diploma in Christian Studies (36 semester hours).

All credit hours for each level of certification are to be selected from the M.Div. Core Curriculum. Each of the three programs may be applied toward the Master of Arts in Christian Studies (48 semester hours) or the Master of Divinity with Christian Ministry (90 semester hours). To be admitted to the Christian Studies Programs, applicants must complete an application .
