Apply for Admission

Each year the Admissions Committee seeks to build a class with a range of interests, experience, and preparation. There is no single formula or profile for admission to HDS. Successful applicants come from a wide range of academic, professional, and cultural backgrounds. Although the admissions process at HDS is highly selective, each application is carefully reviewed by the Admissions Committee to evaluate the fit between the goals, academic record, and experience of the applicant and the resources available at HDS.

A complete list of application requirements for admission to the master of divinity (MDiv), master of theological studies (MTS), doctor of theology (ThD), and master of theology (ThM) degree programs and the special student nondegree program can be found on  the How to Apply page.

Please note: Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Scholars program applicants must use the special student nondegree program application.
