GRADUATE PROGRAM EXAMPLES

To enter the Graduate Program of Midwest Seminary of Bible Theology the student has to be active in ministry and have a Bachelor Degree. If the Bachelor Degree is not of a religious nature, the student must take 12 pre-requisite Bible courses before entering the Graduate Program. Each program at the Graduate level is tailored for each student. If the student did not take the Percentile Testing at the Undergraduate level, it can be done at the Graduate level. The student will receive from 9-15 credits from the testing. With the student being active in ministry, they will receive 9-15 credits of Practicum. The testing and Practicum credits will not be applied until the student has completed the required course work.
