General Procedures for
Application
To be considered for admission, each applicant
must submit to the Dean of Students the following
documentation:
- A completed Divinity School Application
for Graduate Admission, including the required
application fee. Applicants to the A.M., A.M.R.S.,
and M.Div. programs must submit an essay reflecting
intellectual influences and professional goals.
Applicants to the Ph.D. program must, in addition
to this essay, submit an essay outlining their
proposed course of study.
- Official transcripts of academic record
from every institution of higher learning that
the applicant has attended.

interests and motivation, character, and general
intellectual abilities.

(GRE) General Test. Scores more than five years
old are unacceptable. Applicants should take the
October GRE examinations when possible, although
December scores usually arrive in time for admissions
and aid decisions.

the University policy states minimum requirements.
Individual Divisions or Schools may require higher

The University of Chicago accepts either the Test
of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the
International English Language Testing System
(IELTS) for the purpose of meeting the English

result in a minimum required score in the TOEFL

score of 7, with sub scores of 7 each.
The English language requirement may be waived
if the applicant studied in full-time status for

universities in Canada or South Africa. Students
who studied in English in other countries, for
example, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Hong
Kong, Singapore, etc., are not exempt from the
English language requirement.
Please note: TOEFL or IELTS Score Reports are
valid for two years and scores will be considered
expired if the test was taken more than two years
prior to the application deadline. Photocopies
