The world needs leaders who can address the art of inclusion with empathy.

Our Graduate Certificate in Gracism Studies program is a graduate-level certificate designed to assist professionals from a theological and sociological perspective in leading social change in their professional contexts. Gracism equips leaders with practical tools for addressing the many divisions in our culture: racial, gender, socioeconomic, political, and religious.

The graduate certificate can benefit professionals in any field by helping them lead diversity and inclusion initiatives in their corporations, organizations, churches, and communities. The program consists of three courses and is nine semester hours long. It also includes an optional culminating retreat weekend with Dr. Anderson.
