Admissions Policy
Veritas Evangelical Seminary is open to all Christian men and women seeking a graduate level education, regardless of whether they possess an earned bachelors degree. VES seeks to admit students who have and maintain a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as their Savior. Each applicant must read, understand, and agree with the Doctrinal Statement of Faith, current VES Academic Catalog and Student Handbook, respecting its statements and committments. Enrollment into the Seminary's programs is open to any student who is spiritually qualified to pursue serious theological study to better serve the church in Christian ministry and research.
Admission to VES masters degree programs require an earned bachelors degree, admission into the VES certificate and audit programs requires no previously earned degree. The certificate and audit programs are available to those who do not yet meet the academic criteria, or who do not desire admission into a degree program. If students in the certificate program eventually fulfill the undergraduate requirements for admission into the degree program after they have begun the certificate program, all certificate units earned will be transferable into the student's degree program upon: (1) the payment of the difference between graduate and certificate tuition and (2) the submission of the student's official transcripts to VES. The prerequisite for admission to any graduate degree program is an accredited bachelor's degree from a postsecondary institution, or the equivalent. The student's undergraduate grade point average (GPA) should be above average, optimally a 3.0 (i.e. B average) or better.
The spiritual requirements for all applicants involve demonstrating an unwavering commitment to the inspired and inerrant Scriptures, having consistent Christian character resulting from a personal commitment to Christ, utilizing one's spiritual gifts for the building up of the body of Christ, and yielding to the Holy Spirit's call to service and Christian growth.
Non-discriminatory Policy
Veritas Evangelical Seminary admits Christian students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the Seminary. Veritas Evangelical does not discriminate on the basis of race, age, ethnic background, color, nationality, or non-disqualifying handicap in its administration and educational policies, admissions policies, scholarships, and other school-administered programs.
