A systematic theology certificate encompasses a series of graduate seminary courses on theology. Most seminaries with theological studies certificates require students to complete a series of for-credit courses, which may be prescribed or chosen from a list of electives. The total number of courses required is typically less than what a degree program entails.
Students enroll in theological studies certificates at accredited seminaries to bolster their understanding of theology. They may be lay leaders who would like some seminary training or graduated seminarians who want to study a particular field more in-depth.
