Entrance Exams

The entrance exam plays a vital role in the application process by providing insight of an applicant’s knowledge base in his/her preferred area of study and gauging an applicant’s readiness for the rigor of our program. All applicants are required to be on the campus of SEBTS for the entrance exam during the date and times indicated on the invitation. The only exception is applicants living and/or serving overseas for whom the test will be proctored. The written examination is taken in two parts. Applicants will have up to 3 hours to complete each part.
We have provided the study guides below to assist each applicant in preparing for the entrance exam for the program of their choice.

*Students wishing to pursue a PhD in Theological Studies: Public Theology will take the same entrance exam as students in Theological Studies: Christian Ethics
