| prior_learning | ADVANCED STANDING The seminary may grant students credit for specific courses based on proven competence in a particular subject area. In some cases, the seminary may offer advanced standing in the areas of Biblical Studies, Christian Thought, and Practical Theology for students with significant prior coursework in these areas from approved schools. In addition, certificate programs and the Master of Theology (Th.M.) degree are not eligible to receive advanced standing, with the exception of students in the Th.M.-Ministry track who possess a completed D.Min. from an accredited seminary are eligible for up to 3 courses of advanced standing toward the Th.M.-Ministry. The program director will decide on a case-by-case basis for each applicant how many courses can be credited as advanced standing. with a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher are eligible for advanced standing for up to 2 core doctoral courses if already taken at Th.M. | 2026-2027 | www.gordonconwell.edu | |
| prior_learning | Degree-seeking students who pass the exam(s) do not need to enroll for the respective survey course(s); rather they will receive advanced standing for the course(s) OT500 and NT501. Certificate students may take the Bible competency exams but are not eligible to receive Advanced Standing; they may replace OT500 and NT501 with open electives. | 2026-2027 | www.gordonconwell.edu | |
| transfer_credit | Students who pass the exams will be granted advanced standing for the respective courses (e.g. GL501/502 Greek I and II and/or OL501/502 Hebrew I and II), reducing the number of required courses for their program where applicable (certificate students may take the language competency exams but are not eligible to receive advanced standing). Students may request not to receive advanced standing and take Biblical Studies electives instead. Since a firm knowledge of the biblical language(s) is foundational for performing competent exegesis required in many upper-level courses, students must verify proficiency by passing the exam(s) before any credit (transfer credit or advanced standing) will be granted. | 2026-2027 | www.gordonconwell.edu | |
| transfer_credit | The maximum number of pass/fails allowed will be reduced for students who have received more than 15 hours of transfer credit, shared credit, and/or advanced standing credit. Dual degree students completing two degrees are allowed the full number of pass/fails on their first degree. | 2026-2027 | www.gordonconwell.edu | |
| transfer_credit | Transfer credits. Transfer credits are included as both “attempted” and “completed” credits when measuring Pace and are included in the maximum timeframe calculation. All transfer credits accepted by Gordon-Conwell will be used in determining when the “maximum timeframe” requirement has been reached. | 2026-2027 | www.gordonconwell.edu | |
| transfer_credit | Shared credit between Gordon-Conwell degrees/programs of up to 50% of the student’s shorter Gordon-Conwell program is treated similar to transfer credit (see Transfer Credit). Dual concentrations are not permitted in the Master of Theology (Th.M.) degree. | 2026-2027 | www.gordonconwell.edu | |
| transfer_credit | TRANSFER CREDIT A student may receive credit toward graduation by transfer of academic work taken at other accredited graduate schools. No transfer credit is permitted in the Master of Theology or Doctor of Ministry programs. For all other degrees no more than 50% of a student’s Gordon-Conwell program can be fulfilled through transfer credit, shared credit, or advanced standing. If a degree was completed at another school accredited by the Association of Theological Schools, the total credit hours that Gordon-Conwell will accept as transfer credit may not exceed 50% of whichever degree has less credit hours – either the completed degree at the other ATS accredited school or the degree the student intends to complete at GCTS. For example, if a student completed a 60-hour degree at another ATS accredited school and is pursuing a 48-credit hour degree at GCTS, they can receive up to 24 hours of transfer credit at GCTS. To be considered for transfer credit, a grade of “C” or better is required. Transfer courses graded on a pass/fail or satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis may be accepted as long as the student still has some pass/fails remaining in his/her Gordon-Conwell degree program. Transfer credit is not granted for work completed more than ten years prior to matriculation at Gordon-Conwell. Transferability of credits completed at Gordon-Conwell is at the discretion of the accepting institution and it is the student’s responsibility to confirm whether or not credits will be accepted by another institution. Transfer Credit into Counseling Degrees A maximum of 18 counseling credits may be transferred to the MACC or MACO program, including a maximum of 12 core counseling credits and 6 counseling elective credits. Only counseling courses taken from a CACREP accredited institution will be considered for transfer. | 2026-2027 | www.gordonconwell.edu | |
| transfer_credit | It is entirely the responsibility of the student to check with his/her home school to ensure the school will accept the course(s) taken at Gordon-Conwell as transfer credit. | 2026-2027 | www.gordonconwell.edu | |
| transfer_credit | Students who pass the exams will be granted advanced standing for the respective courses (e.g. GL501/502 Greek I and II and/or OL501/502 Hebrew I and II), reducing the number of required courses for their program where applicable (certificate students may take the language competency exams but are not eligible to receive advanced standing).

| ADVANCED STANDING | prior_learning | ADVANCED STANDING The seminary may grant students credit for specific courses based on proven competence in a particular subject area. In particular, the seminary offers students an opportunity to display competency in Biblical Studies through bible and language competency exams. In some cases, the seminary may offer advanced standing in the areas of Biblical Studies, Christian Thought, and Practical Theology for students with significant prior coursework in these areas from approved schools. An assessment is required for each student and any credit granted is assessed on a case-by-case basis. No more than one-third of the total required credits in a degree may be earned through competency credits. No more than one-third of the total required credits in the D.Min. may be earned through competency credits. In addition, certificate programs and the Master of Theology (Th.M.) degree are not eligible to receive advanced standing, with the exception of students in the Th.M.-Ministry track who possess a completed D.Min. degree from an accredited institution. Th.M.-Ministry students with a D.Min. from an accredited seminary are eligible for up to 3 courses of advanced standing toward the Th.M.-Ministry. The program director will decide on a case-by-case basis for each applicant how many courses can be credited as advanced standing. Ph.D. students who graduated from a GCTS Th.M. with a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher are eligible for advanced standing for up to 2 core doctoral courses if already taken at Th.M. level with a grade of “A-” or higher. No credit is transferable for the concentration courses. | 2026-2027 | www.gordonconwell.edu |
| BIBLE COMPETENCY EXAMS | prior_learning | Degree-seeking students who pass the exam(s) do not need to enroll for the respective survey course(s); rather they will receive advanced standing for the course(s) OT500 and NT501. Certificate students may take the Bible competency exams but are not eligible to receive Advanced Standing; they may replace OT500 and NT501 with open electives. | 2026-2027 | www.gordonconwell.edu |
| SECOND DEGREE/PROGRAM | transfer_credit | Shared credit between Gordon-Conwell degrees/programs of up to 50% of the student’s shorter Gordon-Conwell program is treated similar to transfer credit (see Transfer Credit). | 2026-2027 | www.gordonconwell.edu |

For example, if a student completed a 60-hour degree at another ATS accredited school and is pursuing a 48-credit hour degree at GCTS, they can receive up to 24 hours of transfer credit at GCTS. Unaccredited graduate work is occasionally accepted at partial value, although the general rule is that no more than nine elective hours will be given for such work. Exegesis courses are never transferred. Transfer evaluations are performed by the Registration Office upon receipt of a request by accepted students and typically take four weeks to process. To be considered for transfer credit, a grade of “C” or better is required. Transfer courses graded on a pass/fail or satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis may be accepted as long as the student still has some pass/fails remaining in his/her Gordon-Conwell degree program. Such transfer courses will reduce the number of pass/fails the student has available at Gordon-Conwell and may limit eligibility for graduation honors (see Pass/Fail Policy). Transferred grades will not be displayed on the transcript nor be used in the computation of the GPA. Transfer credit is not granted for work completed more than ten years prior to matriculation at Gordon-Conwell. Transferability of credits completed at Gordon-Conwell is at the discretion of the accepting institution and it is the student’s responsibility to confirm whether or not credits will be accepted by another institution. Transfer Credit into Counseling Degrees A maximum of 18 counseling credits may be transferred to the MACC or MACO program, including a maximum of 12 core counseling credits and 6 counseling elective credits. Only counseling courses taken from a CACREP accredited institution will be considered for transfer. In accordance with CACREP guidelines, clinical classes where counseling skills and clinical competencies are taught and evaluated must be completed at GCTS and cannot be 162 | 2026-2027 | www.gordonconwell.edu |
