Online Certificate Options

The Spiritual Guidance and Care has two online non-degree certificate options. The programs are designed for professionals who wish to add a new dimension of spiritual formation to their work as counselors and spiritual directors, as well as those interested in personal growth and development.

A. Certificate/Graduate Credit: Students with an undergraduate degree may apply for the certificate program and take the 15 hours of specified courses online, receiving graduate credit for the non-degree program and a graduate certificate upon completion. Students may apply these courses toward the MSC degree if they apply and are accepted into the program. Courses with a B or higher average can be applied.

B. Audit Certificate Option: Students can audit the 15 Spiritual Guidance and Care required hours without receiving graduate credit and receive a certificate.
