Getting In
Admissions & Financial Aid Admission requirements: Perhaps the most important requirement for admission into the MA in Higher Education Program is a student's desire to pursue a vocation in service to God in the college or university setting. We will also closely evaluate students' academic accomplishments in an accredited college (minimum GPA of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale); general preparation in pursuing a program in which biblical understanding is important; gifts, styles, and interests (through letters of recommendation); and, motivations for pursuing the degree (essay). The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not required for admission. The components of a completed application are described on the next page. Applications are reviewed as they are received. Current program costs: Financial aid is available for students in the program. For specific information, contact the HED Office. Students who maintain at least a half-time status of 5 credits per semester qualify for Loan Deferments. Graduate assistantships in a variety of professional areas (e.g., residence life, admissions, campus ministry, coaching, research, financial aid) are available for students enrolled in the Accelerated Program. The positions vary by appointment and availability. Assistantships are made available to accepted students in the cohort each spring. Graduate assistantships normally are nine-month positions (renewable for the second year) and include a one-third reduction in tuition costs as well as a monthly wage.
Application Procedures Applicants seeking regular admission to the HED Program must submit: 1) Transcripts of all undergraduate or previous graduate work. Please have official transcripts sent to the address outlined below. 2) A sample of your writing either in the form of a paper from a previous academic experience or a work-related report that demonstrates proficiency in critical thinking or analytical ability. 3) A short essay (400-500 words) indicating your motivation for participation in the HED Program. 4) Three letters of recommendation, including both professional and academic references, which indicate your capacity to pursue graduate level education.
