The Certificate in Christian Studies is designed for persons who desire to take seminary course work but are not eligible or do not wish to enroll in a degree program. It is also an appropriate course of study for persons who have not yet decided on a degree program but who wish to experience seminary course work or to clarify their ministry calling. Admission to the Certificate does not ensure admission to a Trinity degree program. If a Certificate student later decides to enroll in a degree program, all program admission requirements must be met, and all residency requirements (those course hours that must be taken after a student has been admitted to a program) must be completed.
Certificate coursework can be completed on our Deerfield campus, at any of our Extension sites, or online through Distance Education.
What will I study?
Your coursework is entirely up to you – aside from the necessity of completing 24 hours, there are no specific requirements for our Certificate.
