Application Process

Admission to Saint Leo's graduate Theology program is a simple, straightforward process. Applicants should submit the following materials 60 days before the beginning of the term in which they wish to enroll.

Applicants must hold a bachelor's and/or master's degree from a U.S. regionally accredited institution with a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4-point scale, unless otherwise approved by the graduate Theology program office for a waiver.

  1. Fill out the online application or download, complete and return the application for graduate admission.
  2. Submit official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions previously attended. Graduates or former students of Saint Leo University do not need to submit their Saint Leo University transcripts. A United States equivalency evaluation must accompany international transcripts from foreign institutions, which must be certified by an approved evaluation service. Transcripts can be sent electronically to grad.admissions@saintleo.edu or mailed to Office of Graduate Admissions (address listed below).
  3. Arrange for one professional recommendation from your supervisor or pastor in ministry that can be completed on forms you can download here. Download Professional Recommendation Form
  4. Statement of Professional Goals- Submit a written statement of 250 words or more that outlines how your educational and career goals match Saint Leo University's program.
  5. Determine how you plan to pay for the program. If using Financial Aid, complete the FAFSA online. It is in your best interest to complete the financial aid process as early as possible.

Completed applications will remain active for up to two years. Conditional admission as a non-degree seeking student may be granted only for up to six semester hours of graduate work.
