A high school diploma or GED is desirable but not required. Application form, fee, references, and personal testimony are all required.
Bible College (Undergraduate Level)
Applicants for Associate's and Bachelor's degree programs must have a high school diploma or GED, and have an official transcript sent to YCU. Exceptions are extremely rare; they must be requested and justified in writing, and be approved by the Admissions Department.
All other general requirements are necessary.
Seminary (Graduate Level) Master's
All general requirements are necessary. Master's programs require an acceptable Bachelor's degree as prerequisite. MA programs require a BA. ThM applicants must have proficiency in Greek.
Any exceptions must be requested and justified in writing and approved by the Admissions Department.
Seminary (Post-Graduate Level) Doctoral
All general requirements are necessary.
If a student has not completed successfully an on-campus class, seminar, or external course in a twelve-month period, readmission will be required.
The reactivation fee must be paid. Acceptance will be under any new tuition rates and degree program requirements. If there was any previous tuition assistance or scholarship, there must be a reapplication for such. If there exists an outstanding balance on the student's account, satisfactory arrangements must be made to help effect readmission.
DON'T SETTLE FOR ANY SCHOOL THAT OFFERS A DEGREE FOR A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS WITH NO STRICT THEOLOGICAL, ACADEMIC OR EXEGETICAL REQUIREMENTS. NO QUALITY CREDENTIAL CAN BE RECEIVED FOR A FEW DOLLARS AND IN JUST A SHORT FEW WEEKS OR MONTHS.
