Program details

Overview

This online certificate serves catechists and parish religion-school teachers who want deeper knowledge of curriculum development and pedagogy. It prepares participants to serve as curriculum specialists and as resources for colleagues. The credential is measured in continuing education units, which appear on the student's official Loyola transcript. It is intended for people who already hold a certificate from the ministry institute or something similar, and the same coursework can also be taken for graduate credit. Applications are accepted throughout the year for fall, spring and summer enrollment. Applicants submit an online application with no fee and provide official transcripts that show a graduate degree or certificate in a field such as pastoral studies, religious education or something related. Prospective students should consult the program page and its linked requirements for current course listings and application steps, because details can change from one academic year to the next.
