TO APPLY
Here are some application requirements that will help you complete the process and be eligible for review:
- A list of your previous Higher Education degree institutions and the dates you attended;
- Official transcripts from all institutions that granted you a degree;
- You may submit unofficial copies for initial review for a provisional admissions decision if you apply before August 1st (for the fall semester) or before December 1st (for the spring semester) but we must have official documentation directly from the institutions themselves to complete scholarship applications and for final admission.
- If you have international degree transcripts, we must have an official evaluation of them for the provisional or final admission decision. See here for an evaluation link for a discounted price. You may also use World Education Services (WES).
- A Statement of Purpose that articulates the following:
- your goals in seeking theological education and the experiences that have led you to do so;
- the reasons you have chosen Hartford International University, in particular, and your educational/ vocational goals;
- the life experiences that have most significantly shaped your values and who you are as a person.
- Email addresses for three references:
- At least one letter must be from a faculty member of an institution from which you have earned a degree or a person from your religious community or workplace who can speak to your potential for graduate-level study.
