Applicants should have (or be on track to graduate with) a Masters of Divinity or its equivalent (72 credit hours minimum in specific disciplines).
The Old Testament PhD also requires your M.Div. to have a minimum of 9 hours in Hebrew.
If you do not have an M.Div. but you do have a M.A. or other masters-level divinity credit, you may submit a doctoral equivalency evaluation to the admissions office to find out if you qualify for SBTS PhD programs.*
A minimum master’s level cumulative grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale is expected.

*International transcripts must be evaluated by a NACES approved organization for both admissions consdiration and for equivalency requests.
