Master Program Admission Requirements
Preliminary Requirements for Admission
Christ must be the center and architect of each student’s faith and life. Students are expected to enroll with the aim of pursuing deeper spiritual commitment and maturity in the service of the Lord.
General admission Requirements
To be accepted into any master’s program, a candidate must have a bachelor’s degree. Or at least 60 credit hours of undergraduate work, with a GPA of 3.0 or higher in a Bible-related program. If the degree/courses are from a secular school, GCU also requires at least three years of full-time or five years of part-time ministry experience, and/or enrollment in our Div.M. program. With the approval of an academic adviser, a student may combine master of divinity courses with concentrations in other master programs.
Credits transfer
Credits from accredited or approved Christian institutions may be transferable or partly transferable. Ministry experience is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Students who have fulfilled the full academic requirements for our master’s degrees at other institutions, or through ministry experience, must still complete all prerequisites, along with required theses and internships.
Transfer Students
Any student transferring to Galois Christian University from an accredited or approved educational institution must arrange for all previous schools to send official transcripts to GCU. Any relevant credits may be transferred.
