In this new apostolic age, Catholic parishes that focus on dynamic worship and effective management provide powerful models of unity and stability. The University of Mary’s online graduate certificate program in parish administration and management offers essential training in the practical theology of the local church, preparing both lay and ordained leaders for impactful service in the Body of Christ and the Kingdom of God.
For students pursuing a Master of Business Administration, Master of Organizational Leadership, or Master of Arts in Catholic Studies: Apostolic Leadership degree, this certificate can be declared as part of their program of study.
Students who do not wish to pursue a full master’s degree may instead choose to pursue a non-degree certificate program on its own. This program will result in the award of a graduate certificate on the student’s official transcript. Please note: when pursued independently of a full master’s degree program, this certificate program is not eligible for Title IV funding. Students taking this option will not be able to apply federal financial aid funds toward the completion of this certificate program.
