Admission Requirements

Prerequisites:*These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
    A four-year undergraduate degree, from an accredited college or university, that prepares a person for theological studies. The degree should include at least 30 semester hours that are related to the disciplines included in the MTS program, of which at least 12 semester hours correspond to the intended area of specialization. An overall undergraduate GPA of 2.5 and of 3.0 (B) in the courses that correspond to the intended area of specialization.

    Admission may be granted to motivated applicants who do not have the appropriate prerequisites, on the condition that the student will meet these deficiencies by taking additional graduate courses to increase their level of competence. (A general guideline for estimating the number of additional hours of graduate study that may be required for those without the appropriate undergraduate prerequisites is to divide the total remaining number of prerequisite undergraduate hours by two.)
