Grace Theological College Admissions

Grace Theological College makes a distinction between a religious degree and a liberal arts degree. 

While a liberal arts education attempts to provide a broad foundation of general studies, the religious degree provides a concentration in practical skills which may be exercised in the student’s profession within the structure of a ministry.

ALL admitted students will be awarded up to six credits for every one year of verifiable ministry service up to a maximum of thirty credits.

The Grace Theological College graduate degree-completion program allows students to maintain their professional positions while crafting their own educational study plan. 

These religious degrees are founded upon the practical skills needed to function professionally within the student’s chosen field. Graduates may elect to apply for ordination as Non-Denominational Ministers or Interfaith Pastors upon the successful completion of their degrees.
