(Th.C.)

The undergraduate Certificate of Theology provides students with a structured understanding of core Christian doctrines grounded in Scripture. Through the study of biblical and systematic theology, students explore the nature of God, essential Christian beliefs, and the doctrine of salvation. Emphasis is placed on theological clarity, doctrinal faithfulness, and practical application for ministry and daily life. This certificate equips students to think theologically, articulate their beliefs with precision, and apply sound doctrine in teaching, leadership, and personal spiritual growth.

Undergraduate Certificates

Undergraduate Certificates are intended to be a means for adult learners who do not wish to commit to an entire degree to learn more about various topics for enrichment of their faith journey or to train them for a particular context. By taking one course each term, the certificate can be earned in one year. All students require COLL100 before beginning a certificate program. (The COLL100 requirement can be waived if the student demonstrates proficiency in the CCS Turabian Style Guide, or if they have had a similar course intended to familiarize students with online learning environments. If waived, the student must select an elective as indicated.)  All certificate courses are drawn from the primary BBS2.0 degree.

Course Transfer Considerations

Only courses taken at CCS may be transferred into a certificate program. Courses must be an exact match; no equivalencies are permitted.
