Academic Credit Evaluation

Students wishing to receive transfer credit or advanced standing credits must submit their official transcripts within their first semester of enrollment at Moody Theological Seminary. Students will receive information from their academic advisor on how to request transfer credits once their transcripts have been received. Once admitted to an academic program, a student must take all courses at Moody Theological Seminary and Graduate School.

Students submitting international transcripts will be required to have a course-by- course evaluation from World Education Services (Wes.org or 212-966-6311). Education Credential Evaluators (ece.org or 414-289-3400), or any current member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services. A list of members may be found at naces.org/members.

MBI graduates and previous MTS students do not need to fill out the form to have their previous Moody credit evaluated.
