如何申请

Applicants may defer their offer of admission for up to one year. 已被录取的申请人应尽快通知招生办公室其太阳城网赌平台计划的任何变化. 然而，奖学金和其他经济援助奖项不能推迟. 申请人将在其太阳城网赌平台年度重新评估经济援助.

Yes, twenty percent of our students are part-time, non-degree seeking students. You can take up to four CSTM classes without having to enroll in a degree program. If you then decide to apply for a degree, these classes can be credited toward your degree. If you would like to sit in on a class without fulfilling the requirements for credit, you can apply as an auditor.

与学位 Options

The English proficiency test requirement can be waived for international students who qualify under the following categories:

• You are a citizen of Australia, 加拿大（魁北克除外）, 英国, 爱尔兰, 新西兰, 圭亚那, an Anglophone country of Africa, or an English-speaking country of the Caribbean.
• You earned your prior college or university degree in the U.S.A., in one of the countries listed above in section 1, 或者在以英语为官方教学语言的学院或大学.
• You are currently enrolled as a full-time student in a degree-granting program in the U.S.A. 或在上述第1部分列出的国家之一的英语学校就读，并且在开始在太阳城网赌平台学习之前，将完成至少两个学年的学院/大学工作.

No formal background in theology, no problem! All undergraduate majors are considered. While a strong liberal arts background is helpful, our students come from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines. Although CSTM does provide a rigorous academic environment, it offers a wide array of classes, tailoring to all levels of theological understanding and interest.

The GRE is optional. 如果申请人在人文学科方面没有很强的背景，或者如果他们觉得他们的本科成绩单不能表明他们在太阳城官网生学习中取得成功的能力，我们建议申请人考虑提交分数.

International applicants are asked to submit the following additional requirements:

• Two brief supplemental essays: These essays cannot be written or edited by anyone but the applicant themself in English. This requirement is waived for applicants from select countries and who are applying to select degree programs. Please follow the prompts in your application.
  
• Video Essay: Within the online application you will find a “Video Essay” section, in which you will be prompted to give a 90 second verbal response to a random question. Once you are given the prompt, you will have 60 seconds to prepare your response. You will have 2 attempts to answer the question; this portion of the application requires a web-camera to complete. If you experience any difficulties, please contact our office. This requirement is waived for applicants from select countries and who are applying to select degree programs.
• English Language Exam: All applicants for whom English is not their native language must also provide test score results from one of two tests:
  • TOEFL: An acceptable TOEFL score is 85 or above on the internet-based test. 参加考试时, include CSTM’s institutional code—3971—so that your scores may be sent directly to the school.
  • IELTS: An acceptable IELTS score is 7.5 (band score) or above on the paper- or internet-based test. Results can be sent to the Clough School of Theology and Ministry directly.
    
  • If you feel that you may be eligible for an English Language waiver, please see the FAQ "Can the English proficiency test requirement be waived?"

应用程序s at CSTM are reviewed holistically, taking all elements of your file into consideration. 而你以前的课程作业和标准化考试成绩将是审查的一部分, we do not use them as cut-offs or post minimum score requirements. If you are concerned with your scores, 请联系招生办公室，以便我们可以单独与您交谈.

An acceptable TOEFL score is 85 or above on the internet-based test. 参加考试时, 请附上CSTM的机构代码（3971），以便您的分数可以直接发送到学校. An acceptable IELTS score is 7.5 (band score) or above on the paper- or internet-based test. 结果可以直接发送到太阳城网赌平台克拉夫神学院和事工学院.

Each year, the CSTM awards scholarships to new students, supporting those candidates who have the strongest academic credentials, ministerial commitment, and greatest financial need. Most students fund their studies through a combination of tuition scholarship, on-campus work, and federal student loans. 100% of master's students receive scholarship support.

学费 & 援助

The application fee is $75. We provide fee waivers for Jesuits, current CSTM students, veterans, individuals completing a year of service with a Catholic Volunteer Network program, and individuals who are Pell Grant-eligible.
