What's happening with MCSI in 2009?
You may have heard that MCSI is not continuing to offer subjects in 2009. Unfortunately this is true. After semester 2 2008, we will not be able to offer Christian Studies subjects in the current format.Our Board is currently considering whether there may be any possible future for university level Christian studies. If you would like to stay informed about what happens in the future please sign up for our email newsletter and we will keep you in touch with any developments.
Can I do MCSI courses anywhere else?
Yes .... and no! There are still opportunities to take up Christian studies, but the unique arrangement that MCSI had negotiated with Macquarie University to include Christian Studies in standard university degree programs has now come to an end.However, you may be interested in these options:
The School of Christian Studies (SOCS), located at Robert Menzies College on Macquarie University Campus, is planning to offer some of the "MCSI" undergraduate level subjects from 2009. Contact SOCS to find out the details.
