MyHCHC
The Remote Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership and Management prepares students to step confidently into leadership roles within the nonprofit world. Whether serving in religious institutions, charitable foundations, international NGOs, or community organizations, students will gain the practical skills and foundational knowledge needed to make a meaningful impact through mission-driven work.
The Certificate program consists of 18 credits of graduate level academic work with a work study component. Students will begin with the HCHC academic calendar while simultaneously taking part in a work study that focuses on one particular aspect of ministry. The work study will be conducted through the Office of Vocation and Ministry’s CrossRoad Summer Institute and Telos Project, giving participants intensive, mentored training as they deepen their theological knowledge and spiritual formation. Due to a generous donor, several full-tuition scholarships are available for new students who are accepted into the Certificate program.
The certificate advances the mission of Hellenic College by fostering a community of creators interested in the culture of the Orthodox Church. The discipline taught by the pursuit of artistic skill also promotes moral development. All of this in turn advances one of the Five Pillars of our Core Curriculum, by promoting the appreciation of beauty and aesthetics.
The Diaconate Program is an educational and formational initiative of the Holy Eparchial Synod of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology. The program is intended for individuals who are interested in serving the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America as deacons and is designed to prepare these candidates for service to the Church as deacons.
The Certificate in Byzantine Music program equips students with a mastery of the skills required for chanting the sacred hymns of the Orthodox Church. The program provides thorough knowledge of the psaltic notational system, the theoretical framework of the modal system, the ability to sight-read musical scores at all levels of complexity, and an extensive familiarity with the contents and usage of liturgical books and the rubrics of the Orthodox Church.
