PGCert in Theological and Ministerial Studies

This online certificate helps students deepen their understanding of themselves and of a particular area of service while strengthening their spirituality. It is open to people who already hold a credential from that institute or something comparable. Participants complete two courses in each of two concentrations they select. One available concentration, Christian Spirituality for Ministry, looks at how ministry grows from the minister's own relationship with God. Continuing education units appear on the student's official Loyola transcript. Students are often experienced ministers holding leadership roles in dioceses, schools or parishes, and the credential can also be taken for graduate credit. 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.
