| Description | The Graduate Diploma of Studies in Christian Education is designed for those students who are seeking a stronger background in education from a Christian perspective but will be pursuing CE as an avocation or adjunct ministry rather than a career. It is a practitioner’s course for CE workers, pastors, teachers, or church leaders—those involved in the planning, management, and delivery of educational services of church and para-church organizations. It contains basic CE courses included in the higher CE programs. Provision is made for CE students to choose a development-based (preschoolers, children, youth, adults) or a family-oriented course as part of their concentration. May be taken as a part time or full time student |
