Application process
Applications are now closed for admission to the 2023-24 academic year. Next year’s applications will be available October 1, 2023.
Application deadline is March 15 of each year.
All applicants must be able to attend the in-person Residency at the start of each academic year, held at Antiochian Village during late August/early September. All MDiv and PhD students are required to attend two weeks at a time; all others attend one week.

MTS or Certificate? The coursework is the same for both programs; the only difference is that our MTS students pursue a Thesis after coursework is completed, and are required to have earned a prior undergradutate degree. If your long-term goal is to earn the Master’s degree, please apply directly to the MTS program, rather than the St. Stephen’s Certificate program.
St. Stephen’s Certificate (non-degree program)
