FST Student

International Applicants

  1. All international applicants must demonstrate the ability to speak and read English adequately. Competence will be judged by a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score, by successful course work in English at an accredited college or university, or by some other equivalent measure to be determined by the Dean.
  2. International students must furnish documents indicating sources of financial support before an I-20 Immigration form can be issued to them by the school.
  3. International students currently engaged in a theological degree program are welcome to apply for a year of study as Special Students. German theological students interested in an Auslandsjahres year can find information about that program at Die FST-Seite in Deutschland maintained by FST alum Ludger Hamm.
  4. If you have further questions please call or write:
