The Certificate of Anglican Studies is designed for a variety of students who wish to participate in the academic, spiritual, and communal life of CDSP without earning a degree. For instance, it is suitable for those who already possess the M.Div. or the equivalent from another seminary and who wish to pursue special study of the Anglican tradition. It might also be appropriate for persons seeking ordination under special canonical provisions of the Episcopal Church. Two tracks are available for completing the CAS: a residential option in which courses are taken on campus, and a low-residence option that utilizes online courses during the semesters and two-week intensives in Berkeley during the summers.
The requirements for admission to the Certificate program are the same as those for admission to the M.Div. program. Applicants seeking ordination will be expected to secure the recommendation of their Bishop.
Students admitted to the CAS program may subsequently apply to the CDSP M.Div. degree program by completing a Change of Program Request Form, which is available from the Registrar’s Office and online. If they are admitted, they may be granted credit for all courses normally applicable to that program. Coursework must fit within the maximum time limit for completion of the program—10 years.
