Ph.D. in Missiology
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Concordia Theological Seminary welcomes international students. Non-U.S. citizens who plan to attend Concordia Theological Seminary should write directly to the Registrar's Office if they are interested in the M.A. degree program, the Admission Office if they are interested in the M.Div. degree program, or to the Graduate School Office if they are interested in the S.T.M., D.Min. or Ph.D. in Missiology degree programs.

The seminary has a Coordinator for International Students who provides information and assistance to international students regarding seminary procedures, immigration regulations and personal concerns of the students. All international students are urged to contact the Coordinator for International Students before they arrive on campus and to maintain contact with that person during their stay at Concordia Theological Seminary.

English Language Proficiency Test
In order to demonstrate their ability to read, write and speak English adequately, international students must take and pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a score of 600 or above. In some cases an exception can be made for a lower score. TOEFL scores should be sent to the Registrar's Office, Concordia Theological Seminary, 6600 North Clinton Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46825.

Application
An applicant seeking admission on a student visa must complete the items below before an I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Non-Immigrant Student Status for Academic and Language Students) can be issued:

  1. A completed application form signed by the applicant (all questions must be answered).
  2. The application fee of $35.00 (non-refundable).
  3. Proof of adequate funding must be provided for the entire period of study. These funds must be on deposit or must be guaranteed in writing by a responsible person or agency.
  4. Official transcripts of college or seminary degree(s) should be submitted. Transcripts must be written in English. They must also be officially evaluated by a transcript evaluation service. (See Foreign Transcript Evaluation.)

Foreign Transcript Evaluation
An applicant who has satisfactorily completed university-level or seminary-level courses in a foreign country must send an official transcript. Based on the program interest, transcripts should be directed to the Registrar's Office, Admission Office or Graduate School Office as indicated on the previous page. Transcripts that are not in English must be translated by a certified translator.

All international transcripts must be officially evaluated to determine equivalency. One copy of the official transcript and translation must be sent to the Registrar's Office and one copy of each must be sent to an official evaluation agency. A listing of several evaluation agencies can be provided to students upon request. Official evaluations are those that are sent from the evaluation agency directly to Concordia Theological Seminary.

The request for an evaluation must be made immediately so that the results will be received by Concordia Theological Seminary prior to registration. Students are required to furnish general evaluations only. All fees required must accompany the transcript sent to the agency.
