Certificate Programs Goals

Our academic Certificate Programs in Theology introduce you to theological knowing in the Augustinian tradition, which is distinctive in its emphasis on the union of mind and heart.

Our students accomplish the tasks of the heart and the mind by engaging theology with a faculty committed to

  1. providing a Christian intellectual and moral environment;
  2. integrating contemporary thought, experience, and method in course work; and
  3. advancing the various disciplines of Systematic Theology, Biblical Studies, Historical Studies and Historical Theology, and Christian Ethics.

In this learning environment, students in our Certificate Programs pursue the same learning objectives as students in the M.A. program, albeit – pertinent to your chosen concentration – more selectively.
