PRT 800 Learning Portfolio and Interview
* With permission of the program coordinator, a student with sufficient background New Testament, Old Testament or Theology may replace the specified course with an elective from the respective discipline.
** If LE 641 Creative Problem Solving and Polarity Management is used to fill the Research course requirement, LE 701 Strategic Thinking, Learning and Planning must fill the requirement above.
*** All courses in this section will be designed to build a set of specialized understandings and competencies (e.g., church leadership; business leadership; non-profit leadership; educational leadership; political leadership) with the guidance of the program coordinator. This could be a combination of courses in leadership and management offered by Briercrest or offered elsewhere (but approved by Briercrest); an internship for part or the whole of 9 credits; or the pursuit of certification or credentialing.
**** In the event that the student chooses to complete RD 808 Thesis (9 c.h.), rather than a Reading Course or SRP, they would need to adjust their course elective choices accordingly.
