The Graduate Certificate in Multi-Religious Studies

Earn your graduate-level certificate in multi-religious studies entirely through low-residency study at Starr King School for the Ministry.

The Starr King Certificate in Multi-Religious Studies, directed by Dr. Ibrahim Farajajé, brings together historical, theological, and social interactions of the world's many religions.

We offer a wide variety of online courses, and short-term intensives and immersions, taught by progressive religious leaders, scholars, and social activists. The certificate includes courses in introductory and advanced counter-oppressive theologies and social theories, interreligious histories, plural ethnic and religious geographies, and mult-religious spiritual practices, ritual arts, and education.
