The graduate programs of Wheaton College focus on areas of strategic importance to church and society where our historic strengths enable us to make distinctive contributions to the world of Christian higher education. These strengths include clear commitments to the supreme and final authority of the Scriptures, a tradition of excellence in academic pursuits rooted in the liberal arts, and a commitment to bringing Christian faith and learning together in the context of a dynamic community of faith.

These carefully planned graduate programs seek to bring Christian belief and perspectives to bear on the needs of contemporary society. Students have the opportunity to work closely with accomplished teacher-scholar-practitioners and, where possible, with accomplished scholar-practitioners outside of Wheaton. We provide academic and professional preparation that will enable the committed Christian student to articulate a biblical and global worldview and to apply it to service for Christ and His Kingdom.

The graduate programs are designed to enable our graduate students to:

· develop an appropriate graduate-level mastery of an academic discipline and of its methods of scholarly inquiry and professional application;

· develop a biblical framework for understanding their discipline in order to integrate faith, learning, and practice effectively;

· develop interdisciplinary breadth and inquiry through our required study of Biblical and Theological Studies by all students, and through exposure to the broader liberal arts emphases of our academic community;

· pursue their own holistic development in the context of this dynamic community of faith in order to[rg1] prepared to serve Christ and His Kingdom throughout the world;

· effectively serving to improve society and building the church—locally, nationally, and globally—in their chosen vocations by using critical thinking skills in the disciplines.

Since the integrating core of all of our graduate programs is our institutional commitment to grounding academic study in Christian truth (i.e., “integrating faith and learning”), foundational knowledge of the Scriptures is a prerequisite to successful study here. Many students bring rich experience from domestic and global Christian ministry to their graduate studies at Wheaton College, and many Wheaton College graduate alumni have in turn made distinctive contributions to church and society around the world.

Graduate studies at the master’s degree level are available in Biblical Archaeology, Biblical Exegesis, Biblical Studies, General History of Christianity, General Theology, Systematic & Historical Theology, Clinical Psychology, Counseling Ministries, Education, Christian Formation and Ministry, Intercultural Studies/Missions, Evangelism & Leadership, and Intercultural Studies and TESOL. A Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Biblical and Theological Studies and a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degree in Clinical Psychology are also offered.

Two non-degree graduate level certificate programs are also available: Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) for students interested in teaching EDL/EFL in a variety of settings in the U.S. and overseas; Certificate in Urban Mission (INTR degree)..

Graduate Admissions

Building from its historic liberal arts base, Wheaton College offers graduate programs which aim at the professional education of its students. Regardless of their professional or academic focus, the graduate programs at Wheaton College endorse the importance of a broadly based liberal arts education as the optimal preparation for graduate study at the College.

Students who are selected for admission to Wheaton College Graduate School should evidence a vital Christian experience, personal integrity, social concern, and academic ability. The College seeks students who desire a commitment to the educational outcomes valued by the graduate departments. These values include:

· Commitment to the centrality of the Word of God;

· Preparation in one of the distinct departmental disciplines;

· Commitment to liberal arts study within the Christian evangelical framework;

· Integration of the content (as well as the skills and attitudes) of the chosen discipline with theological foundations;

· Sensitivity to the special needs of the evangelical community.

Admission Requirements

Master of Arts applicants must have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university at a level indicative of quality scholarship (minimum 2.75 grade point average on a 4.00 scale).

Doctoral applicants must have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university at a level indicative of quality scholarship (minimum 3.0 grade point average on a 4.00 scale). Ph.D. applicants should have a minimum 3.5 GPA from master’s-level work.

Students from approved international colleges and universities are required to have the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor-level degree. Applicants from non-accredited schools may be admitted on a provisional basis, pending completion of possible deficiencies, and will be considered for full admission to a degree program on an individual basis. Students who have not received a bachelor's degree may be considered for admission on a course work equivalency basis. Each applicant's case will be considered on its own merits. All entering students must have facility in the reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension of English to adequately complete graduate work.

Optimal preparation for graduate study at Wheaton will be achieved by the student who has done undergraduate course work in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and mathematics, and foreign languages. This type of course work forms the core of a liberal arts education. These liberal arts studies are recommended for all entering graduate students. The theological studies courses required of all students presuppose some basic exposure to the humanities and sciences.

Each of the academic departments of Wheaton College Graduate School maintains its own requirements for admission beyond the completion of a U.S. bachelor's equivalent (see requirements for academic departments). In most cases, these must be met by formal educational experiences.

Classification of Students

Regular students include all applicants who are admitted to the Graduate School in a degree or certificate program. Only regular graduate students may become candidates for a degree.

Special students are applicants who are not planning to work toward a degree or who have missed the degree student deadline. Special students can apply only 12 credit hours toward a degree if they apply later as regular degree students. The Graduate School is not obligated in any way to accept a special student for degree status.

Modular Students are students enrolled solely in intensive courses to obtain their educational objectives

Auditors are students attending graduate classes for personal enrichment and not for academic credit. Auditors must file the appropriate application form with the Registrar's Office, register as an auditor, and pay the audit fee. Audited courses may be included on a student's academic transcript if attendance and instructor's expectations are met (see transcript audit application).

International Students

International students of high scholastic standing are invited to apply for admission to the Graduate School. Applications (except for Canadians) will be accepted for the fall semester only. The deadline for the formal application is January 1.

The following requirements apply to all international students and to permanent residents of the U.S. whose native language is not English.

Three test scores are required. The tests and our minimum requirements are outlined below. Scores must be no more than two years old.

	Paper and Pencil	Computer-based test
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)	550 (600 for Ph.D. and M.A. TESOL)	213 (250 for Ph.D. and M.A. TESOL)
TSE (Test of Spoken English)	50	16
TWE (Test of Written English)	5.0	18
This test is included in certain administrations of the TOEFL

Exceptions to the required test scores will be made in the following instances only:

· The student is a citizen of Great Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, or the British West Indies, and is a native speaker of English (GRE or MAT scores may be required).

· The student has studied in one of the countries mentioned above, or in the U.S., within the past two years and has a good academic record at the school attended (GRE or MAT scores may be required).

· The student has a recent TOEFL score (less than two years old). In this case the student will not be required to retake the TOEFL/TWE. Special arrangements may be made to take a written exam. The TSE may also be required at the discretion of the Admissions Office.

For information on the TOEFL, write to: Test of English as a Foreign Language, CN 6151, Princeton, NJ 08541-6151, USA. For information on the TSE, write to: Test of Spoken English, CN 6157, Princeton, NJ 08541-6157, USA. (Website: www.ets.org)

All international students, whether or not they were required to take the TOEFL, will be required to take an English proficiency exam at Wheaton College during International Student Orientation Week. Those who do not demonstrate proficiency on the Wheaton English exam will be required to take Academic Composition and Communication (INTR 503) non-credit. INTR 503 is a specialized course which is offered at no cost to all international students each fall.

In order for the applicant to receive the Certificate of Eligibility (Immigration form I-20) required of all international students entering the United States, the following conditions must be met:

· The applicant must be formally admitted to a graduate degree program.

· The applicant must submit a Certification of Finance form and payment for tuition, room, board, and health insurance for their *first semester, by June 1 prior to enrollment in order for a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20) to be issued. If the student can verify s/he will not use college housing, and/or meal plan, that amount does not need to be sent.

On the Certification of Finance form applicants must be able to demonstrate sufficient financial support to cover the total projected costs of education for the entire time of enrollment, for both billed and personal costs, and for family, if applicable. The student must also provide signed certification from the bank or sponsor(s) verifying the accessibility of funds. Strict government regulations require that Wheaton College verify the financial resources of international applicants.
An international student will not be allowed to enroll for the next semester and continue graduate study if the student's tuition (also, housing and/or meals if applicable) is not paid at least one week before the first day of classes. Failure to make payment will result in immediate withdrawal from Graduate School.

*Billy Graham Center scholarship recipients must deposit the entire amount budgeted for their Master’s degree program by June 1 prior to their enrollment. Under no circumstances should an applicant make preparations to arrive in the United States before being granted admission and arranging tuition payment.

Accelerated M.A. Program

Wheaton College offers an Accelerated M.A. in the following programs: Biblical Archaeology, Biblical and Theological Studies, Christian Formation and Ministry, Education, Evangelism and Leadership, Intercultural Studies/Missions, and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Wheaton College undergraduate students can earn a B.A. and M.A. in five years by taking graduate credit courses during their senior year. An application should be submitted to the Graduate Admissions Office prior to earning 90 undergraduate credit hours. After acceptance, students will be able to register for graduate-level courses after completing 90 undergraduate credit hours. Up to eight hours of graduate credit may be taken each semester (16-hour maximum taken as an undergraduate). The student will be given a graduate advisor, but will retain the undergraduate advisor and be classified as an undergraduate until the bachelor's degree is earned. Earning a graduate degree by this method can have a financial advantage. Courses taken toward this accelerated master's degree program cannot be counted toward the student's bachelor's degree requirements.

Readmission

Students who have not registered for one or more semesters must file a Re-enrollment Application with the Graduate Admissions Office. An additional $100 advance deposit ($200 if Psy.D. student) will be required. A student must also submit a transcript of credits earned at any institution attended during the absence from Wheaton. A student readmitted after the program limit (M.A.—five years; Ph.D.—six years; Psy.D.—seven years) must fulfill graduation requirements for the catalog of the year of readmission. Credits earned more than eight years prior to readmission may not be allowed to fulfill degree requirements except with department approval.

Academic Requirements

Upon satisfactory completion of the requirements for graduation, Wheaton College confers upon the student the degree of Master of Arts, Master of Arts in Teaching, Doctor of Philosophy, or Doctor of Psychology.

A certificate of post-baccalaureate study in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, Certificate in Urban Mission, or Certificate in Urban Evangelism will be awarded to those students who complete program requirements. Certificate students are subject to the same academic standards as M.A. students, and a 2.80 cumulative GPA is required.

A student is subject to the requirements listed in the catalog for the year in which the first enrollment occurred or to the requirements of a subsequent catalog under which the student is enrolled for credit as a degree-seeking student. All requirements must be met, however, under the same catalog.

A student who completes degree or certificate requirements in December, May, or August may participate in the annual May Commencement unless the academic department prescribes restrictions on participation, and will receive the diploma or certificate when all requirements are finished.

In a graduate school setting, research is of critical importance. The student is expected not only to reach a certain level of expertise in a chosen field of interest, but also to contribute to the ever-expanding fund of knowledge that this field encompasses. The research involved in that contribution is to be of the highest order in terms of theory, as well as technique, with excellence at every stage as its proximate and ultimate goals. It is only as such standards are applied and such results attained that the term graduate can be used properly to describe an educational experience. For this reason research projects, theses, and internships are an integral part of the graduate program.

Graduation Requirements for Master of Arts

(Note: Consult the PsyD handbook for graduation, candidacy, Bible, and dissertation requirements for the Doctor of Psychology degree.)

The following requirements must be met for graduation.

· A minimum of six semester hours must be taken in Bible and Theology courses. The courses are to be taken in residence at Wheaton and are to be selected from the approved list noted later in this section of the catalog.

· A cumulative grade point average of 2.80 must be maintained for all courses taken which apply toward the degree.

· The requirements for courses for one specific graduate program must be satisfactorily completed. Courses must be selected from course numbers 500-699. Unless otherwise limited by the academic program and with advisor and course instructor approval, up to eight credits of 300- and 400-level courses can be applied toward a master's degree.

· Normally, courses taken at Wheaton College will be selected from regularly scheduled courses. However, a maximum of eight credits (four credits in Biblical and Theological Studies and Christian Formation and Ministry programs) may be taken as independent study courses (listed as 695) and/or tutorial courses. A course is considered a tutorial when it is listed in the catalog but taken in a semester when it is not being offered. Permission to take an independent study course is normally granted only when the student can demonstrate why the particular 695 course is needed to fulfill a requirement in the student's program. These courses must meet strict guidelines and be approved by both the course instructor and the department chair.

· At least 75% of the total hours required for a degree program must be taken from Wheaton College. With department approval, up to 25% of the program can be graduate-level transfer or distributed learning credit, including Wheaton College distributed learning courses. Courses in which the grade was lower than B- cannot be transferred. Grades from transferred courses are not used when determining a student's cumulative grade point average at Wheaton. Courses which were previously used to earn another graduate degree (master’s degree level) from another institution cannot be transferred. Courses taken more than eight years prior to enrollment at Wheaton may not be transferable. Students must complete their last semester of study at Wheaton.

· Some programs require that a comprehensive examination must be taken and successfully passed.

· An Application for Degree must be filed with the Registrar's Office according to announced deadline dates.

· All work for the Master of Arts degree must be completed within five years from the date of entrance if done in regular academic sessions.

Candidacy

Students must submit an Approved Master's Degree Program form for candidacy status by the time they have completed 12 semester hours at Wheaton. Students who are not accepted into candidacy by departmental vote by that point in their program cannot register for additional degree courses without special permission.

To receive candidacy, students must submit a degree program plan (also known as, candidacy plan), pass a departmental vote, complete all program deficiency and prerequisite courses, and have at least a 2.80 grade point average.

Students may not participate in May Commencement unless they have achieved candidacy status.

Biblical and Theological Studies Requirement

All students are required to take at least six semester hours in Biblical and Theological Studies as part of their degree program at Wheaton. Building on foundational biblical and theological knowledge, this Biblical and Theological Studies (TSR) requirement, supported by the integrative focus of all of the graduate programs, will prepare students in graduate programs at Wheaton College to be able to:

· Employ appropriate hermeneutical methodology in the accurate interpretation and application of biblical texts;

· Evaluate and construct theological statements and systems for congruence with Scripture and historical Christian orthodoxy;

· Evaluate presuppositions, positions, and systems in their disciplines for congruence with Scripture and historic Christian orthodoxy.

All non-BTS master's-level graduate students must take one of the following courses from Category I:

Category I (4-hour courses)

BITH 564 Principles of Interpretation (prerequisite: competency in Greek)

BITH 565 Christian Theology

BITH 566 Foundations for Biblical Interpretation

BITH 576 History of Christianity to 1900

All non-BTS masters-level graduate students must take one of the following courses from category II, as specified by the individual programs:

Category II (2-hour courses)

BITH 521 Theology of Education (required for the M.A. in Teaching program)

BITH 561 Theological Anthropology (required for the M.A. in Clinical Psychology program)

CFM 512 Bible in Ministry (required for the Christian Formation and Ministry program)

EVAN 526 Historical and Theological Foundations (required for the Evangelism & Leadership program)

INTR 531 Theological Foundations (required for the Intercultural Studies program)

Students entering the graduate program with an M.Div. (or comparable M.A.) degree may substitute one of the following for the four-hour course:

BITH 577 World Christianity

BITH 638 Old Testament Theology

BITH 648 NewTestament Theology

BITH 675 Advanced Systematic Theology

Official Communication

As the Internet has made electronic communication increasingly widespread, convenient, and reliable, organizations of all types have begun using the mechanisms it provides for official communication, alongside traditional paper documents. At Wheaton College two of these mechanisms are now used for official communication between campus offices and students: BannerWeb and electronic mail (email).

BannerWeb

BannerWeb is a component of BannerÔ, the College's administrative database system, and allows communication via the Internet between campus offices and students, including online registration for classes and communication of class schedules, grades, student account balances, and financial aid information. Data encryption and user authentication using PIN numbers provide safeguards for the personal information accessible through a BannerWeb password.

Electronic Mail

Students are given campus email accounts when they enroll at the College. Official notifications made by campus offices are increasingly made using email, rather than by paper memos sent through the campus post office. Electronic mail used for such notifications will be delivered to the student's college email account. Students are expected to read their campus email, and must use their campus email accounts in official correspondence with campus offices, to ensure proper identification.
