Overview

Urshan Graduate School of Theology admits qualified men and women of the apostolic faith to further prepare them for Christian service. The decision to admit a student rests solely with the Admissions Committee.

Admission to the Master of Divinity or Master of Theological Studies program is based on the following considerations:
 
Christian Character
- as evidenced by membership and active participation in church, recommendation by Christian leaders and compatibility with the stated purposes of the Urshan Graduate School.
 
Commitment to Christian Service
-as evidenced by the essay describing call to Christian service, by stated vocational goals, and by an interview with a member of the Urshan Graduate School of Theology Admissions Committee.

 Academic Readiness
-as evidenced by a command of the English language demonstrated in the admission essay, by the possession of a bachelor's degree, with an overall grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.7 on a 4.0 scale, and by an acceptable score on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). In the case where the applicant's primary language is not English, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) will be used to test English proficiency.

Urshan Graduate School offers opportunity for students to begin taking classes as a non-matriculated student. In this way, students may enroll in a short-term course or a distance-learning course to discover first-hand whether or not they want to enroll in a degree program. Students may take as many courses as they would like as a non-matriculated student, but they may only transfer up to twelve credits into a degree program.
