Compared to a typical graduate school where students enter into a prescribed program from start to finish, the Graduate Studies Diploma and Graduate Studies Certificate serve as an insightful preview of the seminary experience. By creating accessible entry points, students are given the flexible advantage to further their education and take a few classes without the pressure to complete a master's degree.
In this uniquely-designed program students will learn how all sixty-six books of the Bible came together, grasp how the doctrines of our faith shape our lives, and develop a sound understanding of theology for wherever they are in God's redemptive story. As a result we provide the core essentials for life and ministry regardless of a student's age or season of life.
