Graduate Concentration Certificate

Graduate concentration certificates are offered in several subject areas. These graduate certificates require 15 credits and can be pursued as an individual academic award or as a concentration in a degree program. However, no more than two Graduate Concentration Certificates will be awarded to the same student, and a specific course may not be applied to more than one certificate.The student must meet the general admission requirements.

Requirements:

  • Each academic year the required courses for at least one certificate program will be offered. However, due to limitations in faculty and student enrollment, the courses for other certificates may not be available in any given year. Consult the APTS Registrar concerning the schedule of available certificates.
  • The requirements for the M.A. in Ministry degree can be modified to allow a student to complete a certificate as a concentration within the degree. Consult the Registrar or Academic Dean for guidance in this area.
  • Over the three-year period of their study, M.Div. students willusually have the opportunity to earn one or two certificates.
