Certificate Program
Certificate Programs are designed to be the equivalent of a major area of study for students who choose to dual enroll in the Athens School of Ministry & Worship Arts and another college or university, but who do not wish to earn a second degree. Enrollment in the Certificate Program for Christian Media provides college students, lay ministry leaders, and non-degree students a thorough biblical foundation so that they become equipped to integrate Christian principles as they use their musical gifts in God-honoring ways through volunteer leadership in churches and community organizations.
Degree Programs
Students who earn an Associate's, Bachelor's, or Master's Degree in Christian Media will be equipped in ever increasing ways--depending on the degree earned--to participate in and/or lead efforts to use their musical gifts and talents in God-honoring ways. The program provides an optimal combination of learning to effectively integrate biblical truth into worship music, theoretical music study such as arranging, composing, and conducting, and community performance opportunities as well as apprenticships serving as worship leaders in local settings.
