Entering a Degree Program

Should you wish to enter a degree program, you will need to complete a separate "Degree Program" application; however, it is not necessary to declare a major or degree program in one's first year.

Requirements

The following are required for acceptance into the Seminary's degree program.

• Proficiency in the English language
• A full academic transcript of the applicant's college work. If more than one college was attended, there should be a transcript from each.
• Two references who are not family members.
• A letter of recommendation from the minister or governing board of the church of which the applicant is a member, or other satisfactory source, stating in the estimation of the writer the applicant's moral character, general ability and special fitness to become a theological student.
• Essays on several topics including your saving faith in Christ; why you believe that you are called by God to the preaching ministry; and, an exegesis of a select passage of Scripture.
• The Seminary will examine the student's credentials to ascertain whether the applicant is of good moral character, and possesses the appropriate demeanor and prior education necessary for theological study.
