Applicants should have a bachelor's degree in
Biblical and/or Theological Studies or its
equivalent from an accredited college or
university. With regard to the United States,
this means regional accreditation or that of the
AABC (Accrediting Association of Bible
Colleges). With regard to undergraduate degrees
from other countries, each applicant will be
considered on his/her own merits. However, it is
expected that at least three years of college
level work has been gained and that some form of
accreditation is granted to the applicant's
school within his/her country.
Applicants who meet these criteria must also
have had at least one year of New Testament (koine)
Greek before entry into the program. Many of the
textual studies in this program require a
working knowledge of Greek; therefore, students
are encouraged to have two years of Greek before
entering the program, but may be accepted with
only one year of Greek with a grade of 80% (B)
or better in their Greek work. (The first year
of Greek may be taken during two summer
semesters of the University's program before
entering the program in the fall semester.)
Additional Application Requirements:
-
Official undergraduate and graduate
transcripts of credit earned at all
institutions of higher education.

GRE (Graduate Record Exam) or MAT
(Miller Analogies Test) scores are required.
