Items Included in the Application Process

Application for Admission

All applicants must submit an Application Form for admission. The Application should be accompanied by a $25 non-refundable application fee. Applications cannot be processed without the application fee.

Note: Graduate applicants must meet requirements set forth by Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Contact the BHBI office for details, or visit the MBTS website: www.mbts.edu.

Official Transcript(s)

Undergraduate transfer students must submit official transcripts from every post-secondary school attended. Transfer students with 15 or more hours of transferable credit are not required to submit high school transcripts. Transfer applicants must have at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) on all previous work in order to be granted full acceptance. Full acceptance cannot be granted until all transcripts are received.


References

Each applicant must submit at least two references from individuals other than members of the applicant's family, preferably a pastor and a former teacher or employer. A form for this purpose is included in the admissions packet. Letters from individuals will suffice if they cover the same areas of interest as the BHBI Reference Form. To ensure confidentiality, references must be sent directly by referring individuals to the BHBI Admissions Office.


Church Endorsement Form

The applicant must secure the official endorsement of his/her local church regarding his/her intention to study at Black Hills Biblical Institute. A Church Endorsement Form is included for this purpose in the admissions packet.
