Admissions without a Bachelor's degree

A student will be considered for admission to MB Biblical Seminary into the MDiv, MA-CM, MA-IM, or MA-MFCC degrees or one of our diploma/certificate programs without the equivalent of a Bachelor’s degree if they have:

  • Minimally two years of post-secondary education (i.e. 60 semester units)
  • Some years of work experience, preferably in a leadership role
  • Evidence of life experience which has prepared them for graduate theological education

According to the Association of Theological Schools 10% of the annual enrollment in the above programs may be comprised of individuals who do not have a Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. Such students may only pursue the degree or program to which they have applied. A minimum of 18 units per academic year is required to continue at the Seminary.

For details on any of the above programs, please review our degree offerings.
