Comprehensive Admissions Policy
MSC conducts a comprehensive review of all applications for admission, involving an academic review and evaluation of personal achievements and life challenges. The policy and process described below represents the implementation of the MSC Comprehensive Admissions Policy in selecting the freshman class at MSC. Due to the nature and level of study required for student at MSC, not only the level of academic study but also the nature of being 100% on line requires a much more discipline regiment study for the students. There is a great deal of independent research, reading and written work required above that of a traditional college campuses course of study. Our course of study requires disciplines in learning two languages, translating biblical text, cultural study, biblical and biblical theology studies. Therefore we try to select students we believe will be up to the task of studies disciplines necessary to complete our degrees, our goal is that a biblical education be provide for every one who desires, but being sensitive to the fact that not all can meet the academic study requirements of our college.
Campus-specific Admissions Principles and Goals
MSC is most interested in students who challenge themselves academically; applicants who attempt the most rigorous course work and are successful at achieving the highest levels of performance are the most competitive. Students are selected from across the applicant pool, where merits are defined beyond the standard academic measures, which include but are not limited to, grades, test scores, and academic subjects completed. Although academic factors are important for selection, passion for God, His word and to serve Him personal goals, are greatly taken into account during the decision process.
Mount Sinai College operates on a ten week term see calendar for dates of teams.
