Certificate Program
CCS offers Certificates in four areas: Leadership Development, Pastoral Care, Social Justice and Educational Ministry. The Leadership Development Certificate may be awarded to students who satisfactorily complete all of the requirements for the LDM. The Leadership Development Certificate is the prerequisite for entering into one of the other Year Long Certificate programs.
Year Long Certificates have been awarded to two categories of students: those who entered into the full Diploma program, but withdrew and earned a certificate for the part of the program they completed, and those who entered with the specific intention of doing a one year program.
Requirements
The minimal requirements for the each Year Long Certificate are:
Admission
-meeting admission standards and processes
Successful Completion of:
-Leadership Development Module
-One Theme Year, including the Field Placement, Learning Circles and all of the assignments related to the Theme Year (Educational, Pastoral Care, Social Justice)
Students earning a certificate through these requirements would be granted, for example, a Certificate in Leadership Development and Educational Ministry. It is possible to earn up to three year long certificates, so for example, a Certificate in Leadership Development; Pastoral, Social and Educational Ministry.
Supplemental Requirements
In addition to the minimum requirements, some students may have taken, or may elect to take, additional External courses. For students in this category the additional work may be recognized in their certificate in this way: a Certificate in Leadership Development and Educational Ministry with Supplemental Course work in New Testament; or Certificate in Leadership Development and Pastoral Care with Supplemental CAPPE Unit; or, Certificate in Leadership Development, Social Justice and Educational Ministry with Supplemental Biblical Studies. The certificate would be designed contextually, with an effort to reflect the focus of the work and to keep the length reasonable.
