Graduate Certificate Programs

GTF certificates are graduate-level, non-degree programs designed for ministry/social service professionals seeking to increase their knowledge and competency in a specific area of study.  Each certificate requires the completion of an online curriculum tailored to the student’s specific interests and needs.  Whether for personal enrichment or professional enhancement, GTF certificate programs provide a flexible and affordable opportunity for in-depth, specialized graduate study.

Each certificate requires completion of five online GTF Online Courses courses (15 credits) of the student’s choice in the corresponding area of study.

 
Credit
 
Students receive a certificate of completion upon successfully finishing the five-course curriculum with a grade of A or B in each course. 
 
Certificates may be applied for 15 graduate-level academic credits toward a relevant GTF degree program.
 
Time Frame
 
A certificate program can be completed in 18 months. Students will take one Online Course course at a time, and can work at their own pace. Students may enroll in their first course immediately upon acceptance to the certificate program and payment of the first installment.
 
Cost
 

A GTF certificate costs $6,000.  This is paid in five installments of $1,200, with payment due before registering for each course.

Students who apply for a completed certificate toward a relevant GTF degree will receive a $6,000 tuition reduction.
