Program details

Overview

The Diploma in Practical Theology is a two-year, 63-credit program built around foundational Bible and theology courses alongside a wide range of elective study. Students engage with Scripture, Christian theology, and church history while exploring mission and ministry topics, and choose electives suited to their own interests. The program can be completed in two years with careful course planning and full-time study, though part-time completion is also available. Coursework is delivered on campus. The diploma applies theological study broadly across students' priorities, lifestyle, relationships, and vocation, and emphasizes transferability, giving graduates a foundation that carries into further study at other institutions alongside preparation for ministry-related paths.
