CHRISTE is a non-profit academic institution and not an ecclesiastical one, although it is open to collaborate with and be of service to ecclesiastical institutions. It is chartered as a Research Institute under the prerogative of the United Nations Treaty Series 49006/49007. This means that CHRISTE comes under the legal governance of international law, which is consistent with the global character of the Institute.
By virtue of its charter, CHRISTE is also an affiliated Research Institute of the School of Theology and Interfaith Studies belonging to Pôle Universitaire Euclide (a specialised intergovernmental institution existing to provide postgraduate education for diplomats and senior civil servants of participating countries as well as employees of the United Nations). CHRISTE is therefore authorised to facilitate the study of Christian Theology (either Roman Catholic Studies, Orthodox Theology, or Comparative Theologies) and Interfaith Studies for prospective students at large who wish to pursue masters or doctoral degrees by distance learning. Degrees are conferred by Pôle Universitaire Euclide (listed in the UNESCO/IAU World Higher Education Database with identity IAU-024734).
For those wishing to pursue Theological or Interfaith Studies at foundational levels rather than postgraduate levels, CHRISTE facilitates distance learning studies leading to the Certificate in Theological Engagement (CTE) and the Diploma in Theological Engagement (DTE). These qualifications can be awarded for Roman Catholic Studies, Comparative Theologies, and Interfaith Studies. The CTE and the DTE are awarded by CHRISTE and validated by Pôle Universitaire Euclide.
