What degree programs can I pursue with only an Associates Degree?
An associate’s degree will allow you to complete a Graduate Certificate. The Graduate Certificate (GC) provides biblical and theological training that equips lay people to bring an informed Christian perspective to a variety of callings and non-ordained ministries. This option provides students the opportunity to pursue graduate theological study without commitment to a full degree program. Students may obtain a Graduate Certificate in one of three main areas: Biblical and Theological Studies, Christianity and Contemporary Culture, or World Mission. On rare occasions, a student who does not have a bachelor’s degree may be accepted into the MDIV, MAEM, or MAC programs.
