Graduate Admissions Requirements
To pursue graduate work, a student must:
hold a bachelor's degree from an approved college or university and must qualify for a program of study leading to a graduate degree
have an undergraduate major or its equivalent in the field chosen for graduate study
have his undergraduate program of study be substantially equal to the undergraduate program of study required in that particular field at Bob Jones University, including major, minor, and general requirements
An applicant who meets all undergraduate requirements for admission to graduate work is
given admission subject to the regulations regarding admission to candidacy which apply
to all graduate students. Further details concerning specific requirements are given in
the Graduate Catalog 
under the respective school sections.
Deficiencies
An applicant who is deficient 13 or more hours will be admitted as a Postgraduate Special Student limited to undergraduate courses only. Once this student has less than a 13-hour deficiency, admission to candidacy may be granted. All students should remove academic deficiencies as early in their program as possible. An applicant whose undergraduate program of study is totally out of line with the graduate program he wishes to pursue will be advised to enroll in the appropriate undergraduate school in order to qualify for the bachelor's degree. In every case an applicant for graduate study must present an undergraduate record of such quality as to predict success on the graduate level.
Bible College Graduates
Students wishing to enter the graduate school with a bachelor's degree from a Bible college will be accepted if their grades are adequate and if they meet the following conditions: The undergraduate work taken for the bachelor's degree must contain a total of at least 120 semester hours with a minimum of 70 hours in academic subjects. Of these 70 hours, not more than 20 may be from the combined fields of music, speech, and commercial skills courses. Courses in Bible, church administration, or practical work will not be considered as applying toward the 70 semester hours of academic subjects required.
