The program has equipped and helped me confirm my ministry. (Philippines, '05 Grad)
Along my studies I have little by little understood that theology belongs to street and marketplaces and should belong to our every day lives so that real transformations by the Word of God occur. (Thailand, '05 Grad)
Each and every course I have taken with ABTS impacted me differently, with its teaching being so well planned, so comprehensive, so fruitful, so enlightening, so challenging, so enriching . . . (Hong Kong, Grad)
Transfer Students
ABTS welcomes transfers from other accredited graduate schools.
Students who wish to transfer to ABTS should submit with their application for admission a transcript of all credits previously earned. Credit is given for comparable work taken in graduate programs in accredited colleges, universities, or seminaries. By approval of the Director, credit may be given for a limited number of courses taken in graduate programs which are not offered by ABTS, but which correlate with education for the Christian ministry.
In-Ministry MRE students may transfer 12 credit hours into their degree program. Master of Arts students may transfer 24 credit hours.
Transfer students in the In-Ministry MRE degree program must complete a minimum of 12 credit hours in ABTS seminars. Master of Arts students must complete a minimum of 21 credit hours in seminar format. The remaining hours may be a combination of transfer and extension courses.
Students may complete up to 50% of their degree program at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary on the US campus of Cornerstone University.
