What programs are open for application at Reformed Episcopal Seminary (RES)?

There are several admissions pathways available to the interested student: degree programs, non-degree programs, and audit opportunities.
An accredited degree from RES can open doors for a wide variety of ministries as well as build towards further higher education in theology and biblical studies.
​If you are unsure which degree program (M.Div. or M.T.S.) is correct for you:

• Consider auditing (i.e. enrolling as non-matriculant). There is no limit to the number of courses you may audit.
• Enroll as "undeclared". You may take as many as two courses for credit, unassociated with a specific program, before admission to a particular program is required.
