The required amount of credits for a Doctor of Christian Philosophy degree is 115 credits. All credits earned above the Master's degree level must be in the degree major. All credits are inclusive of credits from the Master's degree. All Doctor of Christian Philosophy degree candidates are required to do a Doctoral Dissertation. All those majoring in Christian/Pastoral Counseling must do a 200 hour Counseling Practicum worth 20 credits of those required for this degree.
Washington State law prohibits schools with religious exemption from using "secular nomenclature." Hence, our Doctor of Christian Philosophy degree has the nomenclature of D.C.Phil., instead of Ph.D. Other than the initials and this being a religious degree, there is no real difference.
