Students who have not enrolled in classes for more than two consecutive regular semesters must submit a new application for admission. The good news is that they may not have to start from scratch. Once they submit a new application, the Enrollment team will review their previous student file and inform them if there are valid application requirements that they would not need to submit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Gateway Seminary exists to shape leaders who expand God\u2019s Kingdom around the world and not all leaders have completed a bachelor\u2019s degree. The seminary has created a way for those lacking a conferred undergraduate degree to pursue seminary studies through the master\u2019s by exception policy.<\/p>

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:<\/p>

1. Students requesting a master’s by exception must be at least 25 years of age at the time of the submitted request.<\/p>

2. 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 required in the master\u2019s degree sought (at least 6 hours of introductory courses in New Testament, Old Testament, history, or theology) with a minimum GPA of 3.2. Electives, transfer credits and ADVANCE courses may not be used to satisfy this requirement.<\/p>

3. This provision will not be granted to previous students who graduated with diploma degrees.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
