Description The Graduate Diploma in Christian Studies is a graduate theological program designed to give students a basic understanding of the Christian faith, and provide them with the tools for an ongoing life of Christian study, meditation and practical service. Central to the GradDipCS is a vision for the integration of faith and life, that is, the need to bring the insights of faith to bear on personal, social and cultural issues. The GradDipCS is a highly flexible program. The large number of elective courses gives students the opportunity to take classes in line with their own interests. Since it can be completed in one year, the DipCS program is ideal for students taking a sabbatical leave to reflect on their vocation or ministry. Conversely, because there is no time limit for completing the program, the DipCS is also ideal for those who want to pursue a course of studies alongside their regular activities over an extended period. All credits taken towards the DipCS can be carried into one of the degree programs, should students decide to continue their studies in greater depth. Specific requirements for the GradDipCS program can be found at www.regent-college.edu
