Selecting a Program

When applying, you must first select what program you wish to apply to. To apply to the MDiv or MTS programs, you must have a bachelor's degree. To apply to the ThM, STL, or STD, you must have a graduate degree in theology.

The Application

First, go to slate.scu.edu/apply to create your account in our online application portal. Then make sure to select "Jesuit School of Theology" to start your application.

 

Please proceed through the application in the order from top to bottom on the lefthand sidebar. Some options may not appear if earlier sections are not completed. 

Once you have made your program selection, the "JST Scholarship" section will ask if you would like to apply. In order to view the scholarship application instructions, select "Yes".

 

If you are an international applicant and have completed the "Personal Background" and "Academic History" sections, you can fill out the "International Applicants" section, which is for language proficiency purposes. Even if you indicate that you received a degree from an institution where English was the primary language, you may not be automatically eligible for a language proficiency waiver. Only applicants with degrees from Australia, Anglophone Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and United States may request a waiver.
