Graduate Certificate

The Graduate Certificate is a post-bachelor's program designed for students whose employment requires that they obtain additional education, but not necessarily a master's degree. Students may also choose the Certificate program in order to become more knowledgeable in the areas offered or as a stepping-stone to the M.A. degree.

Certificate Requirements

The Graduate Certificate program requires six courses (18 credits) in specific areas of study.  The core areas for this program are:

  • Old Testament or New Testament
  • Doctrinal Studies
  • Moral Studies
  • Liturgical Studies

    Plus two Elective Courses

If students wish to continue their studies and pursue the M.A. degree, they may apply the Graduate Certificate courses to the degree program, provided they meet all requirements.
