By rule, no more than 24 semester hours of certificate coursework could later be transferred into a degree program.

The university offers two ministry related certificates – a Certificate in Biblical Studies and a Certificate in Pastoral Ministry.  If a student desires to complete both certificates, the Biblical/Theological Foundation is not repeated, but 24 total hours per certificate are required.

  • After completing the Pastoral Ministry Certificate, for the Biblical Studies Certificate, along with the Additional Requirements above, the student is required 15 more hours of OT/NT Book Studies.
