Certificate in Religious Studies
This program affords students the opportunity to acquire a comprehensive overview of the Bible, its major themes, and the archaeological evidence supporting biblical truth. The certificate itself serves as documentation of this accomplishment, as does the transcript notation. Not only does the Religious Studies certificate program provide valuable personal spiritual development, but it can serve as professional development for those in church or para-church ministries and careers.
The certificate in Religious Studies is available to both degree-seeking students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs and students seeking only the certificate itself. For those students enrolled in degree programs, the certificate not only meets many of IWU's elective requirements for graduation, but is eligible for financial aid under the same terms as the degree program.
Completion of a certificate program while pursuing a college degree can serve as a signal to prospective employers that you are a person with the drive and determination to excel. Not only will the Religious Studies course of study enrich your spiritual life by providing valuable insights and tools for more meaningful Bible study, but it will better prepare you for a number of volunteer or part-time ministries, such as leading Sunday school classes and Bible studies.
