Admission to graduate study in religion will normally be restricted to those qualified applicants whose personal circumstances preclude their application to regular graduate programs elsewhere.

In addition to the eight courses and thesis required by college rules for the master's degree, the department may require a course or courses to make up for deficiencies it finds in the general background of a candidate.

Candidates must demonstrate a working knowledge of at least one of the languages (other than English) used by the primary sources in their field. Courses taken to acquire such proficiency will be in addition to the eight required for the degree.

An oral examination on the completed thesis is expected.
