There is no firm deadline for application submission. However, in the interest of new student success, we suggest that applications are completed by July 15 for Fall term entry and by December 15 for Spring term entry.
Master’s-level tuition is determined by these factors: The amount of credit hours/units is the student registered for this semester. If the student is an active, current member of a Southern Baptist church. The amount of online courses a student takes.
Check the tuition and fees page and our tuition calculator to estimate the cost of seminary.
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.
Gateway Seminary exists to shape leaders who expand God’s Kingdom around the world and not all leaders have completed a bachelor’s degree. The seminary has created a way for those lacking a conferred undergraduate degree to pursue seminary studies through the master’s by exception policy.
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:
1. Students requesting a master’s by exception must be at least 25 years of age at the time of the submitted request.
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’s 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.
3. This provision will not be granted to previous students who graduated with diploma degrees.
Gateway builds course schedules that consider the demands of life, family and ministry. There are many class options that can fit into your schedule. Check out our course search tool for specifics.
