APPLICATION
PROCEDURES
2007-2008
Completed
applications for the Black Ministries Certificate Program (BMCP) and
all supporting materials are accepted on a rolling admissions basis. Decisions
on applications submitted take approximately 5-7 working days after
all materials are received. All admission decisions are made by
the program directors. Students will be notified of their status by
mail.
The BMCP welcomes
students of all religious and denominational backgrounds. A
baccalaureate degree is not required for admission, however credits
from the program can be used toward an undergraduate degree through
Charter Oak Community College. Other undergraduate institutions may
award credit for ministry certificate program courses at their
discretion. Students who think they
may want to seek undergraduate credit for their courses must opt for
letter grades. Students with advanced degrees can earn CEU credit
for the courses.

supply the following:
- The completed
application form and application fee of $40.
- A completed
course registration form.
- A personal
statement of one to two pages in length. (Details outlined on
application)
- Two letters of
recommendation from persons able to assess the applicant’s
academic and professional potential: at least one letter needs to be
from a minister or official of the denomination with which the
applicant is affiliated. In order to facilitate this process, we
recommend that you provide these persons with a stamped,
pre-addressed envelope.
