Certificate of Christian Studies
The Certificate of Christian Studies offers students an opportunity to complete a focused course of study or a sampling of master’s-level courses from the School of Intercultural Studies. It is an ideal program for practitioners who would like to take a few courses in the School of Intercultural Studies to supplement their ministries. It requires the successful completion of 24 quarter units and an integrative essay. By enrolling in convenient daytime or evening courses, students pursuing the certificate can gain an introduction to missiological, theological, and biblical basics at the graduate level.
Students can focus on either a specific curriculum or a sampling of courses to match their personal interests and goals. Since certificate courses may be applied to master's level degree programs, students can utilize their time as certificate students to explore the possibility of a School of Intercultural Studies master’s degree.
Specialized Certificates
The School of Intercultural Studies also offers specific certificates focusing on Crosscultural Healthcare and Global Christian Worship. The Certificate in Crosscultural Healthcare is designed for healthcare practitioners and those interested using healthcare for ministry in a crosscultural context. Each summer the School of Intercultural Studies hosts a Healthcare in Missions Conference and courses that fulfill the Certificate in Crosscultural Healthcare required courses.
The Certificate in Global Christian Worship provides individuals in mission and ministry with missiological training for making Jesus Christ known among the nations through a people’s music system. The Certificate in Global Christian Worship may also serve as post-degree training to supplement and enhance the student’s training for mission and ministry. Although the certificate is not awarded to students already admitted to degree programs, all courses earned toward a certificate can be credited toward a degree program (if appropriate to the curriculum) upon later admission to a School of Intercultural Studies degree.
