The Notre Dame Graduate School of Christendom College offers two online courses teaching Catholic Catechesis in conjunction with the Catholic Education Center, LLC (http://www.catholiceducationcenter.com).   The two 3-credit education courses are Teaching the Faith, Part I and Teaching the Faith, Part II. The courses present the fullness of the Catholic Faith, including its doctrines, beliefs, and practices;  furthermore, they teach the student how to communicate this Faith in the classroom and at home.

These online courses may be taken for graduate credit towards the Master of Arts in Theological Studies degree or towards the Apostolic Catechetical Diploma.  Teachers may also take these courses for teacher’s license certification or re-certification (VA or VCEA), and catechists may take them for Arlington Diocese Catechist Certification. In addition, any interested person may take them for personal enrichment.

Registration for these courses is continuous (students may register for them at any time of the year) and the student is expected to finish the course by the end of the following semester, that is, by the end of the fall or spring semester that begins after he has registered.  Tuition must be paid in full before the student begins the course.

If the student decides to withdraw from the course (or to switch from credit to audit) tuition will be refunded according to the schedule below:

Before completing two classes on the course site (2 hours) – 100% refund
Before completing four classes (4 hours on the course site) – 75% refund
