After completing either the Certificate in Christian Leadership Studies or the Certificate in Urban Theological Studies, a student may complete an additional 32 credits, eight credits in each of the four subject areas (Biblical Studies, Theology and Ethics, Christian Ministry and Urban Mission) in order to receive a diploma in Ministerial Studies. These credits can be earned from any of our four curriculums: Capstone Curriculum, Foundations for Ministry Series, Upper Room Workshops or Satellite Design Courses.  The first course to be taken in this program is the Ministry Assessment Course, which helps the student assess his/her gifts, calling and on- going direction in ministry.
