I
am pleased to announce that Virginia Wesleyan University has signed a
Guaranteed Admission Agreement with Candler School of Theology at Emory
University, strengthening an already strong relationship between our
United Methodist institutions.
The
agreement guarantees admission with scholarship opportunities in Master
of Divinity or Master of Religious Leadership degree programs at Candler. To
be eligible, VWU graduates must have a 3.0 GPA or higher for all
undergraduate course work, and must have successfully completed at least
three four-credit courses in the Department of Religious Studies (or
religiously-themed courses in the Departments of History and Philosophy)
with at least a 3.0 GPA average in those courses.
Candler
School of Theology is one of seven graduate schools at Emory University,
located in Atlanta, Georgia. Candler educates ministers, scholars of
religion and other leaders. It is also one of 13 seminaries affiliated
with the United Methodist Church.
In keeping with our strong
United Methodist heritage and traditions, this agreement will lead to
further opportunities for VWU alumni to make career contributions as
pastors, biblical scholars and servant leaders. We are honored to be
associated with such a distinguished theological center at a prominent
and influential institution. I look forward to following the extended
academic careers of our alumni who choose Candler School of Theology for
post-graduate study.
