Other Academic Programs
United Methodist Certification Programs
Professional certification recognizes that an individual has been called and is making a commitment to serve with excellence in an area of specialized ministry. Professional certification is available to lay persons, ordained deacons and elders, local pastors and diaconal ministers. Students enrolled in MA/ MDiv degree programs may take the certification classes as electives. United Methodist students will be certified by their annual conferences working with the General Board of Higher Education. Non-Methodist students will receive a Certificate directly from Drew.
Theological Lifelong Learning
The Center for Theological Lifelong learning aims to equip clergy and lay leaders to effectively address emerging and ongoing issues in ministry by providing relevant leadership education programs, provide advanced theological education beyond the structure of degree programs by opening graduate courses to non-degree participants, and strengthen the spiritual lives of all people through deep Christian study and reflection.
