Track Two:

Graduate Studies Certificate: Receive skills and training to do the ministry you love.

This 16-credit hour certificate provides you foundational biblical training while integrating key coursework toward an MA or MDIV. The certificate design gives you the flexibility to focus on a specific concentration of eight credits (Bible and theology, pastoral ministry, youth ministry, pastoral care to women, ministry coaching, intercultural ministry, pastoral care, or chaplaincy) and the freedom to explore other areas of study or deepen this specific training through eight more hours of open electives. You can access the courses for the certificate on campus or completely through distance learning. Perfect for quick and focused training.
