Doctor of Philosophy in Christian Degree Program
We offer a research-driven Ph.D. graduate program rather than a course-driven one based on a European education model. This model helps students gain a deeper understanding of the practice of clinical pastoral counseling through research and self-discovery. Upon completing each research project and assigned practicums, the student is awarded the distinguished Chaplains College School of Graduate Studies Degree of Clinical Christian Counseling.
For distance learning students all exams if any must be proctored by a qualified proctor
