SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA, UNITED STATES, February 8, 2024. United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities (United) is pleased to announce the creation of two new theological certificate programs. The Certificate in Theological Studies and the Certificate in Applied Ethics and Justice will be available this fall. These 15-credit, five-course certificates offer yet another option for students who wish to gain graduate-level expertise without committing to a multi-year degree program.
Ideal for individuals who do not want or need a degree, but would like advanced training in theological studies or social change agency, leadership, and social justice organizing, potential candidates include church-based lay leaders, bi-vocational pastors, and leaders within nonprofits with religious or spiritual concerns. Others may do so for personal or professional enrichment.
Those who earn certificates can also decide to apply them to a future degree. Credits from both programs can be transferred into United’s MA, MDiv, or MAL degree programs.
"The two new certificates arose,“ Dean Kyle Roberts observes, “from the recognition that a number of people are interested in taking seminary courses to enhance their careers or to explore their faith and spirituality, but a full degree may not be possible or necessary at this stage in their lives."
He adds, "These certificates provide building blocks for connecting theology, ethics, and life, with the option to continue with a degree when they finish."
