CERTIFICATE of THEOLOGICAL STUDIES (CTS)
The Certificate of Theological Studies is a non-degree program designed for those who wish to pursue studies in the academic milieu and theological tradition of DSPT for their own personal enrichment under the guidance and supervision of the faculty. The Certificate of Theological studies is also designed for those individuals who are seeking a refreshing sabbatical through the Institute of Salesian Spirituality (ISS), an affiliated institution of the DSPT.
A faculty advisor helps the student select courses that are consonant with the student's own interests and abilities. Students may take the courses pass/fail or for a letter grade. Upon successful completion of four courses (12 units), the student is awarded a Certificate of Theological Studies. Those who subsequently wish to pursue a degree program must fulfill all the requirements for admission to the particular program. The Admissions Committee makes determinations regarding retroactive credit for course work and tuition.
Students in the CTS program have full use of the acclaimed GTU Library and are able to choose from over 750 courses offered each year by the member schools of the Graduate Theological Union. The student also has access to the vast library resources at the University of California, Berkeley.
Scholarship and Financial Aid is not available for CTS students. Housing is available only if all degree applicants have been placed and there is additional housing available. The director of housing makes every effort to assist students in finding suitable housing; unfortunately, the School cannot guarantee housing for any of its students.
