JS School of Graduate Studies – FAQ

So, you have questions regarding our School of Graduate Studies

Jerusalem Seminary is a member of the International Council for Evangelical Theological Education (ICETE) and the European Council for Theological Education (ECTE). Though we are not currently accredited, we work in alignment with the standards they have set for institutions seeking accreditation, conforming to the highest standards in ministry and theological education.
Any internal JS credit will accrue and at a later time would hopefully, through articulation agreements and accreditation bodies, receive official accreditation; a process that JS has begun.

Jerusalem Seminary’s tuition is $500 per credit hour. The first three semesters, students will take 15 hours, making the cost for the tuition for each of those semesters $7500. The final semester is 16 hours and costs, $8000. The tuition for the In-land modules is rolled into the cost of the overall trip, which we estimate at $4500 (excluding flight costs).
Yes. It is the goal of JS that graduate theological education be as affordable as possible. For this reason we actively pursue opportunities to help students fund their studies. Every student accepted into our masters program will receive a financial award letter within two weeks of receiving their acceptance. This letter will detail the level of scholarship that we are able to offer that student at that time. Awards typically cover a significant portion of the tuition fees and the in-land courses as well. There is not a separate scholarship application.

While we have a rolling admissions process, we will begin reviewing applications for admission in January. We ask that serious students submit their applications before July 1 for consideration for the fall of 2025. APPLY HERE.

No. At this time, students may only matriculate in the fall semester.

Jerusalem Seminary believes it is essential that students have a firm understanding of Biblical Hebrew. For this reason every masters student is expected to demonstrate a mastery of this vital skill. Students who have attained this ability previously may have introductory coursework in the language waived. Students without this level of Hebrew will be required to complete our Biblical Hebrew program through Level 3. All students are required to complete a Biblical Hebrew Exegesis course while at JS. Assessment of a student’s level of mastery of Biblical Hebrew is overseen by the Director of the School of Hebrew. Visit the School of Hebrew.
