Continuing education credits (ceus) cannot be applied to one’s Graduate Certificate program.
Note: Graduate certificate students may elect to continue their studies at LIM beyond the 18 credits of this certificate model. Earned credits from the Graduate Certificate in Theology and Ministry program can be applied toward a Master of Pastoral Studies (M.P.S.) or Master of Religious Education (M.R.E.) degree. Upon completion of 12 credit hours, graduate certificate students must apply for the certificate or apply for candidacy in a LIM master’s degree program; the 12 credits already earned will then be applied to a candidate’s work toward a Master of Religious Education or Master of Pastoral Studies degree.
