The Chin Christian Institute of Theology offers a number of different degree programs in respond to the needs of the church, society, and of leaners. CCIT runs these studies in three main degree programs: Academic Programs, Ministerial Programs, and Lay Programs.
a. Bachelor of Theology (B.Th: a-four-to-six Year Study) degree program is the basic program in CCIT for church service. Only those who pass matriculation are eligible for the four year B.Th Course.
b. Master of Divinity (M.Div: a-three-to-five Year Study) is a post-bachelor degree program. It is offered for persons who hold a baccalaureate degree that is recognized by CCIT, to enhance learners’ theological thinking and ministry skills.
a. Diploma in Theology (Dip.Th: a-four-to-six Year Study) degree program aims to equip persons committed to a Christian vocation in the practice of church ministry. Only who passed grade IX is eligible for the Dip.Th course.

c. Master of Ministry (M.Min: a two-to-four Year Study) degree program is offered for pastors (B.Min, B.Th degree holders). Unlike Master of Divinity, Master of Ministry is not a degree in a specialized academic discipline, but it is a higher ministerial degree program at CCIT that brings together the capacity for critical and constructive theological reflection in developing the specific skills needs for effective ministry in local churches.
a. Bachelor of Religious Education (BRE: a two-to-four Year Study) degree program, which is not for pastoral ministry, is offered for lay learners who seek a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and gives learners to spend some time in seminary to investigate the interrelationship between theological study and other vocations.
