Graduate Admission

Application procedures described below are for graduate programs- masters degrees and graduate certificates- at Eastern Mennonite Seminary. EMS works with a rolling admissions process and accepts applications throughout the year. Students should be registered for courses 30 days prior to the start of the semester, and no later than 5 business days before the start of the semester.

Applicants should have an undergraduate degree from an accredited university with a GPA of at least 2.75 (on a four-point scale). Applicants who do not meet this criteria may still apply and be considered for admission. Mature students with ministry leadership but without a bachelor's degree may apply to the Graduate Theological Certificate as a pathway to the Master of Divinity or Master of Arts in Christian Leadership.
