Courses Approved for WTM Certificate Requirements and Electives
Several courses encourage Candler students to study women in theology and ministry. Courses listed below are approved as electives or requirements for the Women in Theology and Ministry Certificate Program. Each offers:
- a purpose that includes women in theology and ministry as one central concern
- at least one-third of the readings and assignments authored by women or focused on women—historical and contextual patterns, religious and communal experience, or contributions to faith communities and theological discourse
- attention to cultural analysis, including gender analysis
In addition to these courses, we continually approve new ones. We can also approve adaptations of other courses on a case by case basis, especially when the selected course can be adapted with authenticity to the course and to the WTM requirements.
