Academic Programs - Dallas Theological Seminary

Questions and Answers
HOW DO I APPLY?
You can apply online at our website:
www.dts.edu. Graduate enrollment requires
a B.A. or B.S. degree from an accredited
university or college.
CAN I RECEIVE ADVANCED
STANDING AND TRANSFER
CREDIT?
You sure can. Advanced standing credit for
up to one-sixth of most degree programs
can be earned by passing the appropriate
proficiency exams. We also accept transfer
credit, up to one-half of most program
requirements, from other accredited
seminaries and graduate schools.
IS FINANCIAL AID AVAILABLE?
Absolutely! Last year our Student Financial
Services Office distributed over $1.6 million
in scholarships. General scholarship funds
are available as well as specialized funds for
American-born minorities and international
students. An interest-free payment plan
provides funds for tuition, books, and room
and board to eligible students. Low-cost
group health insurance is also available.
WHAT ABOUT HOUSING?
We offer residence-hall rooms for single
male students, including a full-service
dining facility, as well as a new 10-story,
159-unit, student-housing complex that
provides housing for Seminary students
at below-market rates. Our Housing Office
can also help you find off-campus housing
for sale or rent.
IS THERE JOB PLACEMENT
ASSISTANCE AFTER
GRADUATION?
Yes! After graduation our Placement Office
works with you to help you find a ministry
position. Our graduates serve in church
and parachurch ministries, missions, Bible
colleges and seminaries, and in a number
of other fields. Many also go on to further
study after completing one of our degrees.
Our placement record is excellent.
WHAT IS YOUR DOCTRINAL
POSITION?
The full Doctrinal Statement appears in the
back of this catalog. While our faculty and
board annually affirm their agreement with
the entire statement, students need only
affirm these seven essentials:
• the authority and inerrancy of Scripture
• the Trinity
• the full deity and humanity of Christ
• the spiritual lostness of the human race
• the substitutionary atonement and
bodily resurrection of Christ
• salvation by faith alone in Christ alone
• the physical return of Christ.
