Certificate in Messianic Jewish Studies
Chosen People Ministries has partnered with Biola University’s graduate school, Talbot School of Theology, to provide a Certificate in Messianic Jewish Studies. The certificate is for those who seek graduate-level study in preparation for serving in messianic ministry but cannot commit to the full Master of Divinity. It is designed to inspire, equip, and send students into the harvest on a strategic mission to reach Jewish people for the Messiah. It is ideal for increasing the student’s effectiveness in existing ministry through courses such as Rabbinic Theology, Jewish History, and Theology of the Siddur. Certificate coursework may later be applied toward a Master of Divinity degree.
Admission Requirements
Applicants should have earned a Bachelor of Arts degree or its academic equivalent from an accredited college with a minimum grade point average of 2.6 (on a 4.0 scale). Applicants who do not possess a Bachelor of Arts degree or its academic equivalent from an accredited institution may still apply and may be provisionally admitted at the discretion of Talbot School of Theology.
