Admissions
Policy
Payne Theological Seminary is open to qualified men and women
who hold a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or
university. Applicants seeking admission from a foreign institution
of collegiate standing may be admitted if they present satisfactory
evidence of having completed studies equivalent to comparable
American institutions.
 Applicants must be endorsed by their respective
denominations and meet the qualifications of Payne Theological
Seminary. A graduate of an unaccredited American school or a student
with a G.P.A. of less than 2.5 on a 4.0 scale may be admitted only
on Academic Probation (see the regulations concerning Academic
Probation).
Students
admitted to Payne Theological Seminary are expected to write at the
graduate level. Any student found deficient in writing skills
may be
required to enroll in and successfully complete a Writing Skills
Program.
In order to be
admitted to the program leading to the degree of Master of Divinity,
the student must file with the Registrar the following forms, fee,
and information:
- A completed
Application for Admission form.
- A $50.00
Application Fee.
- An official
transcript of all college and graduate work undertaken.
- Three
letters of recommendation-one from the applicant's pastor or
denominational official and two from people who are familiar
with the student's academic ability, preferably college
professors. For students who have been out of school for more
than five years, one of the two letters should be from a
supervisor from the place of the applicant's employer.
- An
autobiography in which the applicant clearly states his/her
motives for entering the Christian ministry and those people and
religious experiences which have led him/her to choose a church
vocation.
- A health
record and a physician's recent statement concerning the
student's medical condition.
Final action
upon the application for admission will not be made until all of
