| Master of Divinity
(MDiv)
The application deadline for a term is two months
before the first day of classes. Applications
received after the deadline will be considered
for admission in the following semester.
The applicant must:
1) hold an undergraduate degree from an accredited
institution with an academic record indicating
scholarly ability and academic achievement, including
a grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or higher.
In exceptional cases, a student with a lower GPA,
but with noteworthy qualifications, may be admitted
provisionally. Achievement of a seminary GPA of
2.5 removes the provisional status. Official transcript(s)
of all undergraduate and graduate work pursued
to date are required. Applicants completing undergraduate
study are accepted on the basis of a partial transcript,
but a transcript showing a baccalaureate degree
must be provided prior to matriculation;
2) complete the application form supplied by the
Seminary's Office of Student Services which includes
three letters of recommendation, including a recommendation
from the applicant's pastor;
3) pay a $25.00 non-refundable application fee;
4) once admitted, pay a $500.00 admissions deposit
at least 30 days prior to the beginning of the
first day of the new term to indicate acceptance
of admission. This deposit is applied to the student's
first-term tuition. New students are required
to complete their registration two weeks before
the first day of classes for the term. Registration
after that date will be assessed a $100.00 late
fee.
