Are you looking to be admitted to the Order of Deacons? Do you wish to be better grounded in the Scriptures, Anglican theology, and the history of Holy Orders? Would you like to be fully equipped to lead Worship in the Prayer Book tradition?
The Diploma in Diaconal Studies is an 18 credit hour (6 courses) program made up of courses at the Master’s level. The hours earned in this Diploma Program can be applied to a MAR or MDiv degree.
The Certificate in Diaconal Studies is a non-credit version. The Certificate student would be enrolled in the same courses; the level of work, however, is tiered (less reading, reduced requirements), and the course graded on a pass/fail basis. Certificate courses cannot be applied to a Master’s degree.
Residential students generally take 2-3 courses per term in Fall and Spring, supplementing as desired with January & June intensives. Most residential students graduate after 1 year of full-time study. Distance students generally take 1-2 courses per term in Fall, Spring, and Summer, supplementing with January & June intensives. Most distance students graduate after 1-2 years of part-time study.
