Applicants from the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada will be referred by the Board of Ministerial Standards and Education. Students of other denominations will normally be referred by their accrediting bodies. This Certificate is not affiliated with Acadia University and is awarded by Acadia Divinity College. |
