Certificate of Christian Studies
A Personalized Path of Study
The Certificate of Christian Studies offers students an opportunity to complete a short-term, non-degree program personalized to meet a wide range of goals, from training for a specific church or parachurch ministry to personal enrichment.
Build Your Own Curriculum
The Certificate of Christian Studies offers students the flexibility to build their own pathway of study. Choose a combination of six courses from the School of Mission and Theology and the School of Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy that support your ministry or vocational goals. At least four courses must be from the School of Mission and Theology. Students may wish to shape their studies around a particular area of study such as biblical justice, pastoral care, or leadership. View a class schedule or learn more about admissions requirements.
The six-course CCS program can be completed 100% online in as little as 6 months, and up to 3 years, which allows working professionals—who are well established in their professions but seek a deeper understanding of their field and maximized effectiveness in their role—to gain advanced knowledge and skills without leaving their current role or context.Â
