Graduate Program Admission
Admissions Requirement - Graduate Program
Ordinary People Inc. School of the Prophets (OPISOP) is committed to admitting students whose academic records and life experiences demonstrate strong potential for success. Aligned with our mission, we are dedicated to providing access to higher education and creating opportunities for individuals to grow in their calling and purpose. We also recognize that the potential for success is not always reflected solely through traditional academic metrics, such as test scores.
Applicants seeking admission to graduate programs at OPISOP must hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university, or the international equivalent of a four-year baccalaureate degree. Admission is competitive, as space in each department is limited by the availability of faculty, specialized resources, and funding for students who may require financial assistance. To be eligible for the Doctoral Degree program, applicants must hold a Master’s degree and have a minimum of ten (10) years or more of church leadership experience. The application must include recommendation letters, along with a resume detailing commensurate training and positions held in church leadership.
All students must submit their application to this link electronic and make payment for admission.
