Application Process for All Degrees

Only those who have been in ministry for at least five years may apply. (See Ministry Defined.) Applicants must hold a high school diploma, GED or equivalent, for all Cloverdale College programs.
Academic transcripts, educational records, or copy of high school diploma are to be submitted to Cloverdale College's Administrative Offices upon formal application.
A ministry statement is required of all applicants. This statement should express the applicant's own personal commitment to the program chosen and why the applicant feels it would serve his/her professional or personal needs. Ministry experience should be described in detail as part of this statement. This is the central core of the application.
Two letters of recommendation are required for all degree programs. These letters may be from a professional colleague, former teacher, member of the parish, or ministry professional. One or both of the required letters of recommendation must verify 5+ years of ministry experience.
A non-refundable application fee of $40.00 must accompany the application.

NOTE: A completed application file includes the application, ministry statement, two letters of recommendation, highest degree transcript/diploma and application fee.

Applications are accepted throughout the year. Evaluation of applications takes approximately two weeks.
