The Religious Education Certificate program provides a deeper integration of one's theological understanding and professional experience through the discussion and discernment of topics related to religious education ministry. An IREPM faculty advisor will assist students in choosing coursework (18 credits/audit), securing a related field placement and integrating the two in a final project.
