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.

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").
