Introduction to Reformed Worldview (CTS-110)

This course explores the meaning and application of a Reformed, Christian worldview from an interdisciplinary perspective, including its posture to the major challenges of our time, such as sexuality and identity, consumerism and corporate power, populism and political power, and scientific and technological transformations.

What is a Certificate?
Certificates are programs of study involving a specific body of academic work organized around clear learning objectives, and at approximately 4-6 courses in length are more concise in learning outcomes than a typical degree. A certificate may also be offered as a stand-alone degree or in conjunction with a concurrent bachelor's degree.
