Can I transfer credits from another accredited seminary into a degree program at Western Seminary?
A. Students who have completed relevant studies prior to becoming a student at Western Seminary may request consideration for the transfer of credit. Western Seminary normally accepts appropriate transfer credit from graduate institutions accredited by the Association of Theological Schools or regional accrediting associations. For credit to be granted, the previous work must approximately parallel course content (80% or higher equivalence), as described in Western’s catalog, judged by comparison of typical course syllabi. The previous courses must be validated by an official transcript with indication of a grade of “B” (3.0) or higher. The course work must have been completed within five years of the application for transfer credit. If the student meets all of the above requirements, he or she will be able to transfer in credits up to 50% of whatever degree program he or she will be entering at Western.
