Certificate Program Overview

A Certificate may be granted to students who complete a program of at least 12 units of prescribed master's-level study intended to provide a specific skill set for Christian ministry. A Certificate can be earned by a "Special Student" (one enrolled in the Seminary but not intending to complete a master's degree), or a Certificate can be earned by completing the required coursework while seeking a degree. The six certificates currently being offered include:

• Bible Teaching
• Collegiate Ministry
• Missions Studies
• Youth Ministry

In addition to the master's-level certificate programs identified above, the Seminary also offers training for the spouses of students. This program is not accredited and transferability of courses may be limited. 

• Partners in Ministry Training (PMT)

Also, through the Seminary Extension Program of the SBC, interested students, spouses and others have access to study by correspondence. This program is not regionally or ATS accredited and transferability of courses may be limited.
