Certificate of Christian Studies – Distance Learning (DL)

The Certificate of Christian Studies – Distance Learning is a 32 credit hour program designed for students who wish to take courses for interest and who, for a variety of reasons, are unable to attend regular on-campus classes. Students may complete the program requirements entirely through correspondence, or they may complete the courses in a variety of modes (i.e.. on-campus). Distance Learning (DL) courses may transfer into other programs depending on the course requirements of the program. Please note that this certificate is not approved for OSAP funding.
DL courses are offered each term (Fall, Winter and Spring) and it is recommended that students register in only 1-3 courses per term. Programs are frequently reviewed and are subject to change after two years. If a student chooses to take longer than two years to complete the certificate, he or she may be required to complete further course requirements.
