While many of our students come from traditions outside the Church of the Nazarene, many Nazarene ministry students choose to pursue ordination in the Church of the Nazarene. To satisfy this need the School of Theology and Christian Ministry, in cooperation with COSAC (Course of Study Advisory Committee) of the Church of the Nazarene, has identified 25 courses that meet the academic outcomes required for ordination. After a student has successfully completed all 25 courses and verification has been made by the Office of the Registrar, a Certificate of Completion will be awarded that identifies that all academic requirements for ordination have been completed. This certificate will serve as verification of completion for all districts on the Olivet region as agreed upon by each of the regional District Superintendents. It is the intention of the university that this certificate also be accepted by all districts. Below is a list of the classes that must be successfully completed to meet the outcome requirements of COSAC.
