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 with understanding inclusion from a theological and sociological perspective to lead social change in their own 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 is nine semester hours in total and consists of three courses. The program also includes an optional culminating retreat weekend with Dr. Anderson.
