Foundation Certificate
The foundation-level courses form the core of Truett Seminary's Certificate Program curriculum and are designed to take approximately 16 to 18 months to complete as students progress through them one at a time. All but the first course (CCF00) are 12-weeks in length, but many students finish within a shorter timeframe. The first two courses (CCF00 and CCF01) must be taken chronologically. The remaining four courses may be taken in any order.
These designed to work together to form a strong foundation of understanding within the Christian faith and are modeled after the core curriculum of Truett Seminary’s prestigious Master of Divinity program. By completing all six courses, students earn a Certificate of Christian Foundation.
