St. Bernard’s exists to enable men and women of all backgrounds and missions in the Church to grow in knowledge and love of God. We are thrilled to welcome those who desire to pursue this growth without committing to a Master’s degree program.
Our Graduate Certificates seek to provide that same transformational and rigorous engagement with theological and philosophical sources through a topically-focused grouping of courses that can be completed more quickly and more affordably than a full Master’s degree program. They are also open to those who do not have a bachelor’s degree! Because Graduate Certificate coursework is credit-bearing at the graduate level, all credit earned may be applied towards a Master’s degree program.
Whether you are pursuing excellence in a particular topical area or seeking further knowledge and/or credentialing in your area of ministry, our Graduate Certificates are designed to offer a formational experience that will help you fulfill your mission in the Church and in the world.
Those looking for online Catholic certificate programs that are also available on campus will wish to explore our certificates. We invite you to contact our Office of Admissions for more details.
