Since the TEE courses are offered to the general public while the SFD is a Master degree program, it takes 6
units of the former to replace a 3-unit SFD course, provided that the contents are similar. However, the
Association of Theological Schools (ATS) accreditation allows only 2 transferred courses at the Master degree
level, i.e., 6 credits.

If you had taken two years of the SF courses that Pastor Mimi Yeh taught for the FiCF/TEE Certificate program,
they can replace the SF110 course offered in the SFD program. If you had taken the courses “Holistic Personal
Growth” taught by Dr. Anita Meng and “Biblical Foundations of Spiritual Formation” taught by Dr. Dora Wang in
the FiCF/TEE certificate program, they can replace either one of the two same courses in the SFD program, and
waive the other by taking a SFD elective course in its place.

Yes. All 10 SFD courses constitute the core (required) courses of the future MCS-SF degree program; therefore,
all credits are transferable.

No. You can apply directly to SFD or to take three courses as a “pre-student” status.

If you miss it for the first time, you can take it when the course is offered in the next round. However, based on
the course development and student triads/quartets for in-class and out of class spiritual practices, we
encourage you to follow the program if possible.

Not currently.

 If there are enough students in 2027, the program can be offered.
