Grace College

What you'll study

Study builds on foundational orthodox systematic theology and moves into areas that create tensions within theological systems. Students also learn biblical languages, Bible interpretation, and theological reasoning. Programme elements include supervised field experience and coursework such as:

• Advanced Systematic Theology
• Principles & Practice of Prayer
• Theological Foundations of Counseling
• Spiritual Formation
• Leadership in the Local Church

Entry requirements

Applicants normally must hold a four-year bachelor’s degree (or international equivalent) from a recognized institution. Graduates of Bible colleges, liberal arts colleges, and state colleges or universities are encouraged to apply. Candidates with a pre-seminary GPA under 2.5 or degrees from non-accredited institutions may be admitted on academic restriction. Individuals without a bachelor’s degree may be considered if they meet specified ministry experience and research/writing requirements. Application materials include official transcripts (unofficial acceptable for initial review if degree in progress) and a spiritual life reference. International applicants must provide TESOL test scores and a financial certificate demonstrating sufficient funding.
