Missions Certificate
The Certificate in Missions Studies is designed for students who are not seeking a degree, but desire a basic theological background for international ministry. The International Mission Board does not require a specific curriculum for career appointment, but Southeastern encourages those who need 20 or more seminary hours prior to IMB appointment to follow this directed course of study.
Field Experience Credit
We do not just train missionaries to go to the field, but missionaries who have been on the field already. In many cases, that field experience will count as credit twoard a degree at Southeastern.
