The Athanatos Online Academy Apologetics Certificate aims to equip the student with the critical information to help them understand why Christianity is reasonable and respond to the challenges posed by the world at large, while laying the groundwork for future, independent learning.

Students pursuing the certificate program must take 14 courses (up to 16 are included in the program fee). A minimum of 4 courses need to be at the 300 level. They may take a maximum of 4 courses at the 100 level. They must take Introduction to Biblical Greek. Remaining courses can be at the 200 or 300 levels.  ACM will assist the student in course selection based on the student’s goals and objectives.  A student may take a maximum of 5 courses per session.

Students in the certificate program will also enjoy heightened interaction with the facilitators. While the academic standards are the same for those in the certificate program as regular participants, facilitators will apply more challenging questions and projects to those in the certificate program.

Lastly, a final integrative paper will be written by the student which takes the students Apologetics training and integrates it with their intended goals and objectives. More details on the final paper will be given for those who submit inquiries about the certificate program.

The cost of the program depends on how many payments that are made.

  • $2,000 if a single payment is made (must be paid prior to beginning the program).
  • $2,300 if 2 payments are made (must be paid within 15 month time frame).
  • $2,500 if 4 payments are made (must be paid within 24 month time frame).

To apply for the certificate program you must contact the director to begin payment options and discuss goals and objectives. Do not enroll for any classes. Your enrollment will be handled directly by AOA staff. However, if you would like to ‘sample’ our programs, first, you may take up to two courses at the normal rates and the tuition you pay for them will be credited towards the certificate program.

This certificate can be obtained within 12 months if a student is diligent, but 18 months is more realistic. Participants have 3 years to obtain their certificate.

Those enrolled in the certificate program are required to purchase Peter Kreeft and Ronald Tacelli’s Handbook of Christian Apologetics: Hundreds of Answers to Crucial Questions and James Agresti’s Rational Conclusions.
