Certificate in Old Testament Hebrew

Purpose

The Certificate in Old Testament Hebrew is designed for those who desire to gain a deeper understanding of the Old Testament. Admission to the Certificate does not ensure admissions to a Trinity degree program; however, it is designed so that courses completed may apply toward a future TEDS degree. 

Admission Requirements

Applicants to the Certificate in Old Testament Hebrew generally should possess the following:

• the general admission requirements described in the Admissions section of the catalog;
• completion of the Certificate Application with accompanying requisite materials.

Completion Requirements

• All 12 hours must be completed through Trinity with a cumulative GPA for course work of at least 2.0, with no course work graded below “C-“ applicable to the certificate.
• All coursework applicable to the certificate must be completed within a five-year period.
• When the certificate is taken simultaneously with a TIU degree, all 12 hours must be in addition to program degree coursework.
• Students who wish to use the certificate as an entry point into a master’s degree should apply for admission to that degree and may apply all credits earned toward the master’s degree. The Certificate in Old Testament Hebrew matches well with the MA/Theological Studies and the Master of Divinity programs.
• Evidence of Christian life and character and recommendation by the faculty.
• Completion of certificate requirements required by the catalog curricula in effect at the time of initial enrollment.
• Settlement of all financial obligations to Trinity and any other ACTS seminaries with Student Financial Services.
