Advanced Standing

Advanced standing may be granted to students who have completed courses with a grade of "B" or higher in their undergraduate studies that are similar to the following theology and church music courses in the master's programs in the School of Church Music and Worship:

OLDTS 3313/3323 NEWTS 3313/3323 BPTST 3203 WORSP 4323 WORSP 4222 WORSP 4312

Old Testament I-II New Testament I-II Baptist Heritage The Church Gathered: Theology of Worship Congregational Song Philosophy of Worship Ministry

In most cases, advanced standing allows the student to substitute a course but does not decrease the number of hours required for the degree. In the list above, Old Testament, New Testament, and Baptist Heritage are eligible for advanced standing with credit by examination. Contact the Registrar's Office for more information. In all cases, students should request a transcript evaluation for advanced standing from the Chair of the Academic Division in the School of Church Music and Worship.
