Admissions Process

Faith Theological Seminary desires students who are committed to Jesus Christ. Students are required to read, understand, and respect our statements of purpose and faith. Enrollment is open to qualified students of all Christian denominations and fellowships, without distinction of sex, race, disability, or ethnic derivation, who desire to engage in serious theological study in preparation for Christian service.

Each degree program requires a prerequisite: a High School diploma is necessary to study for Bachelor of Theology degree, a Bachelors degree is necessary to study for Master of Divinity degree, and Master of Divinity degree is the prerequisite for the Doctoral degrees.

The purpose of this institution is to train men and women for Bible-based Christian ministries. Therefore, in addition to the academic requirements, there are spiritual requirements for admission in keeping with this purpose. These include Christian experience, spiritual growth, call to service and gifts for ministry.

Computer literacy: Applicants must be able to employ a sufficient level of computer technology to do research, write with a word-processor, and print assignments. Personal computer access or ownership is required.
