GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN
HEBRAIC ROOTS OF CHRISTIANITY
The Graduate Certificate in Hebraic Roots of Christianity offers the opportunity to delve deeply into the complex yet rich Hebraic world out of which Christianity arose.
If you’re seeking a graduate-level program but can’t commit to a full two-year M.A., this one-year, 24-credit-hour certificate provides a focused and flexible alternative. Drawing from the core courses of our M.A. program, it allows you to build a strong academic foundation while maintaining the option to transfer approved graduate credits from another institution.
