Most concentrations require a regionally-accredited master’s degree (M.Div., MACE., or M.A.) totaling no fewer than 48 hours, with at least twelve hours in biblical or theological studies and at least twelve hours in leadership, administration, education, or ministry studies, with a GPA of at least a B (3.0).
- Concentrations in Biblical Counseling, Biblical Theology, Expository Preaching, New Testament Exposition and Old Testament Exposition have additional pre-requisite requirements.
- See “Admissions” tab for more information.
If you have previous masters-level credit but do not have the required hours for admission, you may submit a doctoral equivalency evaluation to the admissions office to find out if you qualify for SBTS D.Min. programs.*
For a complete listing of D.Min. admissions requirements, see the “Admissions” tab.
*International transcripts must be evaluated by a NACES approved organization for both admissions consdiration and for equivalency requests.
