Anyone interested in becoming a student at ISCE must submit a complete application document to the Admissions Office. Admission Office will not begin the processing of the application until receipt of the complete application document, which includes:
Applicants whose first language is not English, or who have not studied for three years in an English-speaking secondary or post-secondary institution (where English is the language of instruction and examinations are in English) must submit proof of English language proficiency by supplying their scores/results of either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Testing System (IELTS). Visit toefl.org or ielts.org for further information about these tests. Applicants who are not residents of Canada at the time of application must arrange to take the TOEFL/Test of Written English (TWE) or IELTS in the country from which they are applying.
ISCE welcomes applicants with Christian commitment who desire to further their studies and gain new levels of academic, professional and ministerial expertise within a vibrant community of faith and learning.
As a graduate theological school, ISCE admits students who have completed a baccalaureate degree from an accredited university or college. In exceptional circumstances, mature students without an accredited baccalaureate degree may be considered for admission if the Admissions Committee is satisfied that their educational background and life experience have prepared them for theological study at the graduate level. Applicants are advised that a strong background in the humanities and social sciences is advantageous.
Those accepted for study at ISCE are expected to enter heartily into the community life of the School, cooperate with other students in the self-government of the student body and cultivate a sympathetic understanding of ISCE’s denominational diversity.
