LICENTIATE  PROGRAMS

UNDERGRADUATE LICENTIATES

A student in any degree process may request the option to complete licentiate requirements in another discipline in order to practice both after graduation. This is the case with Seminary students who take the Ministry Emphasis along with the Bachelor of Religious Studies. Upon graduation they receive the Bachelor's degree plus the Licentiate degree in Ministry and may then apply for admission to the Master of Divinity. The licentiate would afford full or limited service in a chosen vocation once earned. Should the student later decide to complete degree requirements in this discipline all licentiate credit earned will be transferred if done within three (3) years. These credit points will be deducted from the amount of credit required and experiential credit will also be awarded if the applicant has been involved in the practical application of the licentiate during this time. The following are post-baccalaureate degree studies that award a Graduate Licentiate in a particular specialty area, or may be taken to complete a specialty requirement in a degree process, e.g., Chiropathy

Admission into the graduate licentiate programs requires the applicant to have completed an undergraduate degree or licentiate, or a graduate degree process (post-graduate). A " Graduate Licentiate" is awarded to those holding an undergraduate degree, and a "Post-Graduate Licentiate" is awarded to those who have earned, or are completing requirements for, a graduate degree. These programs when taken simultaneously with a degree process may be added to the diploma issued as a concentration.

This is a new program that focuses on experiencing growth in spiritual counseling.
Therapia means "healing" and clients or counselees are encouraged to see themselves as active participants in their therapy, empowered with the value of full human dignity. The individual's own spiritual journey and identity are honored and respected during therapy. It is an alternative to conventional psychotherapy, integrating a spiritual dimension within the process of growth and personal restoration. We approach emotional and psychic wholeness and wellness from the profound conviction that every human person is created in the image and likeness of God. During Therapia the therapist seeks to cultivate both psychological and spiritual health ("Psycho-Spiritual"), drawing on the vast resources of the Eastern Orthodox Faith tradition, which has now entered the third millennium. Therapia Psychotherapy and Guidance has the blessing of the Church. The following program was designed by the Syro-Russian Archdiocese. One can offer Therapia as the sole service rendered or as a specialty within another counseling discipline. An applicant must have previously completed studies in Counseling Psychology and Theology.

Diplomate in Theocentric Psychotherapy ("D.Ch./Th.Psy.") - Tuition $3200




This program replaced the Doctor of Theocentric Psychotherapy in September 2007, but a student may still request this degree title should they desire. Psychotherapy is an intricate process of interaction between two or more complex personalities. The client or counselee seeks the assistance of the professional establishing a positive and trusting relationship with one another. Theocentric Psychotherapy is a healing process centered on God and positive spirituality. Through this process the theocentric psychotherapist helps a client learn about the "self" that perhaps has been unconsciously and unsuspectingly concealed, primarily from his/herself. It also brings the client into a closer relationship with faith, spirituality, and God. Students wishing to engage in Behavioral Chiropathy are encouraged to consider this program. A Bachelor of Chiropathy is required, or equivalent, and a licentiate in Counseling or Ministry, or equivalent. Clinical Pastoral Counseling (I & II) must have been completed or added to the following. Those who graduate from this process are licensed as a Doctor of Chiropathy with a Diplomate in Theocentric Psychotherapy ("Behavioral Chiropathy").
