Professional Graduate Degree Programs

Prepare for ministry or further theological study with these graduate-level programs. Historically, we've called these programs "basic" to distinguish them from our "advanced" PhD-level programs and MA program. However, there is nothing basic about these programs! All of our programs and courses will prepare you for ministry, further study and a richer spiritual life in the knowledge of Christ.

Academic Graduate Degree Programs

The certificate programs have specific designs and are granted and administered only by Wycliffe College. The Diploma in Christian Studies is a good introduction to theological studies. The Certificate in Anglican Studies allows those who already have a Master of Divinity to add Anglican content. The Certificate in Missional Leadership and Formation allows those in ministry to reflect on and sharpen their practice of ministry.
