FAQ

Is the Graduate Record Exam required for admission?
The GRE is required only when applying for an Advanced Degree (STM & ThD).

Is postulancy required for the Master of Divinity program?
If you are interested in ordination in the Episcopal church, postulancy or permission from the bishop and involvement in the diocesan discernment process is required.

If ordination is not desired, but the a prospective student wants to earn an Master of Divinity, is that possible?
Yes. Often a prospective student is interested in an academic vocation and completes the Master of Divinity before moving toward the doctoral program. However, the Master of Arts program can serve the same purpose.

Is a bachelors degree required for the Master of Divinity program?
Yes. However, if a student is only deficient by a few credits (to be defined by the Admissions Committee) from completing the bachelors degree, he/she may begin as a Full-time Non-degree student, with all earned credits transferring (once the student has been accepted) to the Master of Divinity program.

How can I find information on schools for my children?
There is a website that has been put together for parents new to NYC. Take a look at www.insideschools.org. (This is a third-party website and is not connected with The General Seminary.)
