If you already have a university degree and would love to dip your toes into theological studies, but you are not ready to commit to the years of study involved in a full-length degree, the Graduate Certificate of Divinity might be for you. Totalling four units of study, it is a compact course and gives generous flexibility in subject choice. Then if you really enjoy this taste of theological studies and decide to proceed further, the units you take for the Graduate Certificate are all transferable to a number of longer theological courses at MST.
