Gateway Seminary will consider applicants lacking an accredited undergraduate degree for admission to its master’s degrees. A student must request admission under this provision in writing through the Office of Enrollment and may initiate this request only after all qualifying criteria have been met:
Applicants must demonstrate their ability to do graduate-level work by entering the Seminary as a diploma student and by completing at least 15 hours of Gateway Seminary coursework. At least 6 hours of introductory courses need to be taken in New Testament, Old Testament, Church History, or Theology, while maintaining a minimum GPA of 3.2. Electives, transfer credits, and ADVANCE courses may not be used to satisfy this requirement.
This provision will not be granted to previous students who graduated with diploma degrees.
Supplemental information may be required by the applicant at the request of the Admissions Committee.
- A student admitted under this exception must take an additional 24 hours (M.Div.) or 18 hours (M.T.S., M.T.E., M.A.E.L., M.A.I.S., M.G.E, and M.A.C.C.) following enrollment under this exception. Please contact the Gateway Seminary Office of Enrollment with any questions.
