The Advanced Studies Certificate (ASC) is designed specifically for you. This non-credit program provides limited and focused theological training for anyone who does not desire graduate credit or who does not meet the prerequisites to receive graduate credit.
While no formal academic credit is earned in the ASC program, students are awarded Learning Units (LUs) to demonstrate progress toward their 18-LU certificate. ASC participants make the same course choices among available tracks as those offered to credit students in the Graduate Studies Certificate program.
