Candidates for admission must be born-again and display evidence of a dedicated Christian life. Requirements include:
- An MA in an appropriate theological or missiological discipline from an acceptable school with a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
- Two or more years of appropriate intercultural ministry experience.
- Submission and approval of a writing sample that demonstrates graduate-level research skills.
- Second language proficiency. In exceptional cases, this requirement may be substituted by petition. When a request for language waiver is submitted, the Admissions Committee may require six credits of relevant studies in the applicant’s area of research. This will be implemented at the discretion of the Committee in a case-by-case situation based on transcripts and experience.
- Official approval of administrative superiors (e.g., missions board or agency).
- Adequate computer competencies and internet access.
Co-requisites
In cases in which candidates for admission are considered to have insufficient background in biblical, theological or missiological disciplines, the Seminary may require them to complete 15 credits of missiology foundation courses, 15 credits of theological foundation courses, or both as a co-requisite.
