{Degree Programs} General Requirements –M.Div. and M.A.R. to particular courses may be required by the professor in charge. There will be an additional tuition charge for these courses. 3. No student will be granted a degree who lacks the equivalent of the courses in the original languages of Scripture, or whose cumulative academic average at the completion of the program is lower than 1.80. The degree shall be granted only to persons enrolled at Westminster at the time of the completion of their program of study. A student who has completed requirements by the end of the winter term of the year of graduation may receive the degree in absentia. See the procedure for requesting permission to graduate in absentia on page 45. 4. The policies pertaining to all non-native English speakers are the same for all degree programs. See pages 38-39. 5. International students must be full-time each semester; see page 40 for the number of semesters allowed to complete the degree program. International students should always allow three years to complete an M.A.R. and four years to complete an M.Div., due to Greek and Hebrew requirements. 6. See academic requirements regarding Registration and Attendance, Withdrawal/Reinstatement, and Academic Standing on pages 41-45. 7. Students who already possess a Westminster M.A.R. degree may receive an M.Div. by completing the following: a. all of the course requirements for the M.Div. (many of which will have been met in the M.A.R. program); b. the M.Div. Mentored Ministry requirements; c. a total of at least 120 semester hours of academic work at the M.A.R./M.Div. level, not including Hebrew and Greek, or a total of at least 140 semester hours of academic work at the M.A.R./M.Div. level, including Hebrew and Greek. 2009–2010 Placement in Greek and Hebrew Instruction in the Bible presupposes a knowledge of Greek and Hebrew, and students are strongly advised to acquire such knowledge during their college course. However, a student is not required to have previous training in Greek or Hebrew to begin the program. Those who have had Greek or Hebrew before entrance should take the Greek or Hebrew placement exam. See the Academic Calendar for dates of the exams. Note: in order to avoid complications due to a lack of prerequisites, these should be taken upon initial matriculation to the Seminary, unless permission to take them at another time has been secured by the language examiners. Placement exams may only be taken once. A total of at least 92 credit hours plus certified competency in Hebrew and Greek courses is required for the M.Div. degree. Any matriculating student who wishes to place in a Greek class other than in one of the elementary classes (Greek “a” or “aa”) must take the regular placement test at the start of his or her program. The student should follow a single track from the beginning, unless the student is granted advanced placement based on the results of the Greek or Hebrew placement exam. The language curriculum and schedule are designed for the student to follow 52
