The Ellen G. White and Adventist Studies Graduate Certificate is an academic program requiring three years of study on an annual intensive basis beyond the master’s level or at least concurrent enrollment in a master’s program. The purpose of the certificate is to prepare active teachers at Seventh-day Adventist colleges and universities who do not have a doctoral emphasis, doctoral cognate, or master’s degree in Adventist Studies to competently provide education in the areas of Ellen G. White studies and Adventist history. Additionally, the program will support the educational competence of Ellen G. White/Seventh-day Adventist (EGWSDA) research center directors and division or union archive directors. The certificate requires 18 credits of prescribed 600-level course work.
Delivery: This program is offered at selected off-campus international sites as well as in an interactive online format using both asynchronous and synchronous courses. (See School of Distance Education definitions).
