*Bexley Seabury may admit to its masters-level programs and credit-bearing courses a limited number of applicants who do not have a bachelor’s degree or educational equivalent, provided that all other criteria for admission and application requirements are satisfied; and that the applicant can show ecclesial endorsement; provide evidence of significant ministerial experience, commitment, leadership skills, and current vocational clarity; and can show readiness to do master’s-level academic work in theological disciplines. 

Master of Divinity

In most cases, the M.Div. application is complete upon receipt of three letters of recommendation, your official bachelor’s and any masters- or advanced-level degree transcripts, and a personal statement. A minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0 is expected. If you hold other graduate degrees, please include those as well.

If you wish to be considered for a special scholarship under the Bexley Seabury Scholars program, such as the St. Marina Scholarship, additional documentation is required to complete your M.Div. application. Click here to determine if you are eligible for this scholarship and for instructions on how to apply.

Neither admission into the MDiv degree program at Bexley Seabury Seminary, nor completion of the degree, is a guarantee of postulancy, candidacy, or ordination in any Diocese of the Episcopal Church. It is the responsibility of students to determine and ensure compliance with the ordination process and requirements of their particular Diocese. Students who are actively discerning a possible call to ordained ministry are strongly encouraged to consult with their local Bishop or Commission in Ministry prior to applying for admission to Bexley Seabury or any other MDiv program.

Diploma in Anglican Studies

Admission requirements for the Anglican Studies program include either a registrar’s letter confirming matriculation in a masters-level program at an accredited seminary or an official transcript of your highest degree completed, plus a letter of recommendation from someone with whom you’ve worked in ministry.

For questions about the Anglican Studies program, please send an email to Academic Dean Jason Fout or phone 773.380.6787.
