AND FACULTY 



No educational institution can be stronger than its faculty. 

In a theological seminary it is vitally important that those who teach 
be thoroughly equipped for their task by scholarship. Equally necessary is 
that insight into the life and work of the church which can only be gained 
by practical experience. It is essential to the effective performance of their 
task that they be men of sincere Christian faith and character, deeply dedi- 
cated to the furtherance of the Gospel. 

We believe that the teaching staff of Columbia Theological Seminary 
possesses these qualifications in unusual measure. The degrees earned by its 
members attest their academic preparation. A list of the ways in which they 
have served the church would be equally impressive. Representing varied 
backgrounds in this country and abroad, and trained in many of the great 
universities of the world, they are alike in being committed to the Reformed 
Faith. A distinguished visitor has aptly described the group as characterized 
by unity, diversity, and harmony. 

In addition to the twenty-three men who comprise its regular faculty, the 
seminary makes use of the wealth of talent available in the churches and 
colleges of greater Atlanta. The staff of the Georgia Association of Pastoral 
Care contributes instruction and clinical training for the total pastoral 
responsibilities of the "shepherd of the flock." Visiting professors come yearly 
both from this area and from distant points. Further stimuli are provided by 
distinguished lectures brought to the campus through the cooperative pro- 
gram of the Greater University Center of Georgia.

GENERAL 



INFORMATION 




Columbia Seminary was founded in 1828 by churchmen who were con- 
cerned that there be enough trained leaders for the Church as the nation 
grew westward through Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. The campus 
was moved from Lexington, Georgia to Columbia, South Carolina and then 
in 1927 to Decatur, Georgia so that it would be located in the key city of 
the southeast. 

Being located in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia is an asset for Columbia 
Seminary and its students. The life of the Seminary community centers on 
the 57 acre campus in Decatur in its classrooms, dormitories, library and 
student center. It moves out into the bustling city around it which provides 
opportunities for personal growth and enjoyment, challenges that stimulate 
preparation for ministry in the world, and specific educational programs 
for Columbia students. 

Here in Atlanta are professional sports, theatres and museums, and a 
wide variety of educational activities at five colleges and universities. Here 
in Atlanta are the varied challenges of the city from its inner core out to 
its distant suburbs. Here are churches and agencies of many denominations 
and ecumenical councils, and, within an area easily accessible for field edu- 
cation on week-ends and in the summer, over 670 Presbyterian churches. 

In addition to colleges and universities there are two other theological 
seminaries in the Atlanta area. Columbia students are involved with students 
of the Candler School of Theology of Emory University and the Inter- 
denominational Theological Center in a variety of activities. Students from 
each of the schools are able to take courses at the other institutions. At 
the graduate level the three schools have formed the Atlanta Interseminary 
Graduate Institute. This institute coordinates and augments the resources 
of the three seminaries in the interest of advanced professional education 
for the ministry. Innerseminary cooperation, a phenomenon of modern 
times, meets the increasing demands for high quality theological education.

ADMISSION 

College Preparation 

Admission to the M.Div. and M.C.E. programs at Columbia Seminary 
requires a four-year degree from an accredited university or college of arts 
and sciences or its equivalent. Students without four years of pre-seminary 
preparation are not eligible to earn degrees at the Seminary and are not 
encouraged to apply for admission. 

Entering M.Div. students are required to have a reading knowledge of 
New Testament Greek. For those students who are not prepared in Greek 
the Seminary offers non-credit courses in its Summer Language School. 

Admission Procedure 

Students desiring admission to the M.Div., M.C.E. or special programs 
should request an application for admission from the Director of Admis- 
sions. In addition to the completed application form students should furnish 
the Director of Admissions the additional items indicated on that form. 

Admission procedure for the Th.M., program may be found on page 25, 
and for the S.T.D. program on page 27. 

Students admitted to the Seminary will be provided a health form to be 
filled out by their physician and an application for Seminary housing. 

Transfer 

Students in good standing in other accredited seminaries may be ad- 
mitted after transcripts have been evaluated and their applications approved 
by the Admissions Committee. Ordinarily more than one year in residence 
is required for graduation. 

Advanced Standing 

The faculty of Columbia Seminary is concerned to give more latitude to 
exceptional students who have shown unusual proficiency in advanced work 
in religious or Biblical studies at the college level. Provision is made, there- 
fore, for such students to pursue a more flexible schedule of study in lieu 
of normal requirements. Students interested in this program of independent 
study should consult with the Dean of Instruction. 

Orientation 

An orientation program has been arranged and is required of all new 
students during the days preceding the regular opening of the Seminary in 
the fall. This program is without extra expense to the students except for a 
charge for board. It offers an opportunity for new students to get acquainted 
with one another and with student body leaders and members of the faculty. 
Tests are administered in the orientation program to help students identify 
and understand particular strengths and deficiencies of preparation for 
theological instruction. 

Summer Language School 

Students who have not satisfactorily completed two years of college 
Greek or in some other way prepared themselves so as to pass the Seminary's 
qualifying examination should plan to attend the Summer Language School 
the summer before their first year at Columbia. 

Course B221, Essentials of Hebrew, will also be taught if 10 or more 
students desire to enroll for it. 

14 



The work in both Hebrew and Greek will be of an intensive nature. The 
classes will meet for two hours a day six days a week. The study of one 
language will occupy the full time of the student. 

Application for the Summer Language School should be made to the 
Director of Admissions and a preference for either Greek or Hebrew should 
be indicated. The tuition for the School is $90.00. 

ACADEMIC INFORMATION 

Schedule 

Columbia operates on the Quarter System. Each quarter consists of 
approximately ten weeks for classes and one week for examinations. Co- 
lumbia ordinarily gives work only during the fall, winter, and spring quar- 
ters. The curriculum is designed for those beginning their work in the fall 
quarter. Students entering at another quarter will experience difficulties in 
scheduling their courses and may find that they cannot complete their re- 
quired work in the usual nine quarters. 

Grading 

At the close of each quarter grades are given according to the following 
system. A report of his grades is sent to each student and his presbytery. 

A, excellent, 3 quality points per hour. 
B+, very good, 2.5 quality points per hour. 

B, good, 2 quality points per hour. 

C+, average, 1.5 quality points per hour. 

C, satisfactory, 1 quality point per hour. 

D+, unsatisfactory, 0.5 quality points per hour. 

D, inferior, quality points per hour. 

E, conditioned, quality points per hour. 

F, failure, minus 1 quality point per hour. 

Any student who fails to make a C average in any quarter except the 
first quarter of his first year places himself on probation for the next quar- 
ter, and if he fails to bring his average up during that quarter, he will be 
dropped as a student. In the event the student's overall average is C or 
better, he will be permitted to remain as a student for another quarter on 
probation. 

Students who secure an aggregate of 412 quality points in the 140 hours 
of work required for the M.Div. degree graduate "Summa Cum Laude." 
The distinction of "Magna Cum Laude" is awarded to those who earn 391 
quality points; and those who have 362 quality points are graduated "Cum 
Laude." 

Honors 

In order to provide qualified students in their third year with an oppor- 
tunity for independent and intensive study in one field, the Honors Program 
is open to students who have an over-all B+ average and who have demon- 
strated superior abilities in the field of their interest. Honors studies are 
open in any of the departments of the curriculum with the consent of the 
supervising professors and the approval of the department. The student is 
expected to work with one adviser throughout his honors program and to 
concentrate his study in a single area. The format of the program includes a 

15 



regular meeting between the student and his supervising professor at least 
once every two weeks to discuss assigned readings, written work, or other 
special projects. The student will receive 10 hours credit each quarter for 
his honors studies and thus is excused from all third year required courses, 
with the exception of the following: Missions and Ecumenics (fall quarter), 
Work of the Ministry (winter and spring quarters), the Preaching and 
Teaching Practicums, plus the auditing of a minimum of 3 to 4 hours each 
quarter of other required courses in areas not related to the student's honors 
program. The courses audited are to be determined in consultation with the 
supervising professor and the Dean of the Faculty. The student who parti- 
cipates in the Honors Program must maintain a B-f- average both in the 
required and honors courses. 



FIELD EDUCATION 

The Field Education Program requires the participation of students in 
the work of the Church both during the three academic and the two sum- 
mers of their seminary studies. The program for each of the three academic 
years is described below. The summer program involves one summer in a 
local pastorate as student assistant or supply pastor and the other summer 
preferably in some specialized ministry. Further information may be ob- 
tained from the Director of Field Education. 

Within the Seminary's geographical area there are numerous opportuni- 
ties for second and third year students to work within the church situations 
during the school year where they may earn income to help meet personal 
expenses. The Field Education Department is responsible for approving and 
supervising all such student employment. Experience in supply preaching, 
teaching in the local church, and various kinds of student assistantships play 
an important part in the preparation for his ministry after graduation. 

First Year 

The experience in Field Education is designed to introduce each first 
year student to the local church from an alert pastor's prospective. The 
class is divided into small groups under the supervision of professors in the 
Pastoral Area. Each group is assigned to one of the churches in the Atlanta 
area for the purpose of studying the worship and work of the congregation 
and understanding the role of the pastor in relation to the congregation and 
the community. 

Second Year 

In the second year an attempt is made to understand the dynamics 
present in local community life where the congregation must function as 
the Church. Professors from the Biblical and Historical-Doctrinal Areas 
supervise this investigation by the second year students in the context of 
small groups. Visits are made to institutions and agencies in the community 
with the expectation of seeing the relevance of seminary studies to the in- 
dividual and corporate life of people and the involvement that the Church 
is to have in the community. 

Third Year 

In the third year the focus is on the life of the Church-at-large. The 
program of the Presbyterian Church, U.S. is presented through visits to 

16 



boards and agencies of our denomination and consultation with staff mem- 
bers. A study is also made of the resources of interdenominational relation- 
ships and organizations. 

In the Spring Quarter consideration is given to the place of presbytery 
examination in our Church and preparation for it. 



ADDITIONAL SUPERVISED EDUCATION 



Intern Years 

Qualified students may take a theological internship of from nine to 
fifteen months between their second and third years at the Seminary. This 
period of off-campus study and practical experience is under both faculty 
direction and local supervision. Though not a required part of the curricu- 
lum, the faculty encourages students to take advantage of internships as a 
means to further relate theological studies to the life and work of the church, 
to gain a more objective appraisal of themselves and their need for further 
study, and to gain skills which may not be attained through classroom work. 
A specified program of reading is planned with a member of the faculty 
before the internship begins, and periodic reports by both the intern and 
his supervisor are required. 



Clinical Pastoral Education 

Clinical pastoral education is a first hand learning experience under 
accredited supervision which provides theological students and pastors with 
opportunities for intensive study of pastoral relationships, and which seeks 
to make clear in understanding and practice the resources, methods and 
meanings of the Christian faith as expressed through pastoral care. Colum- 
bia's membership in the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education means 
that its students will be given priority of choice in institutions elected and 
reduction of training fees. 

Columbia has taken major initiative in the organization of the Georgia 
Association for Pastoral Care, Inc. The incorporating institutions in addi- 
tion to Columbia are the Candler School of Theology and Medical School 
of Emory University, the Interdenominational Theological Center, and the 
Metropolitan Atlanta Council of Churches. The purposes of this Association 
are for pastoral services and training with the conviction that the best possi- 
ble service to people in difficult and crisis situations affords the best possible 
training for theological students. Affiliate institutions are the Georgian 
Clinic, Henry W. Grady Memorial Hospital, Emory University Hospital, 
Egleston Hospital, Wesley Woods Medical Center, Alto Industrial School 
for Boys, Youth Development Center, Central State Hospital, Georgia 
Mental Health Institute, and the Georgia Association Pastoral Counseling 
and Referral Service with centers at Central Presbyterian Church and All 
Saints Episcopal Church in Atlanta.

Homiletics and communication courses use video tape 

Second year students are required to have training under supervision in 
one of these institutions with staff members of the Association serving the 
Seminary in the capacity of guest instructors. Additional elective work for 
M.Div. students is available in these institutions up to an intern year. This 
involves field work credit. It is possible not only for students to fulfill field 
work requirements but also to accrue up to ten hours of academic credit. 

Further elective work is available for graduate students and ordained 
ministers in programs conducted under the auspices of the Association in 
workshops and training programs ranging from one day sessions to intern 
and resident years. 

The Georgia Association is an accredited clinical training cluster of the 
Association for Clinical Pastoral Education, Inc., with headquarters in New 
York City. 

Radio and Television 

Facilities and staff for instruction of students from Columbia Theological 
Seminary, the Candler School of Theology and the Interdenominational 
Theological Center are provided in the Department of Education of the 
Protestant Radio and Television Center, a fully-equipped interdenomina- 
tional center producing materials for the mass media. The work of the sev- 
eral schools at the Center is coordinated by the Reverend David Abernathy, 
S.T.M., who also offers specialized mass media courses on an interseminary 
basis. Columbia Seminary's pioneering use of the Center's video tape equip- 
ment for instruction in homiletics has received nation-wide attention. 

Palestinian Archaeology and History 

Columbia Seminary is associated with the Institute for Mediterranean 
Studies of Berkeley, California which sponsors an annual Near Eastern 
Archaeological Seminar. Students who participate in this Seminar will spend 
eight weeks in the Near East taking courses in Palestinian Archaeology and 
History. The program includes three weeks of actual digging at an ancient 
site in Palestine. Students will be given academic credit provided they suc- 
cessfully complete the course program and submit the necessary transcript.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 

Columbia attempts to provide financial assistance for any Master of 
Divinity student who is in financial need. 

The seminary Financial Aid Officer, James T. Richardson, will consult 
with any student who wishes to discuss his financial situation. After con- 
sultation, students may apply for financial aid. This financial assistance may 
take the form of grants, work scholarships or loans. The Financial Aid 
Committee considers each request separately and attempts to make the 
wisest use of monies designated for financial assistance. 

Second and third year students may expect to receive some remuneration 
for supply preaching as it is available. This is supervised by the Field 
Education Office. 

Scholarship aid is not available to those involved in the graduate pro- 
gram of the Seminary. 



STUDENT ACTIVITIES 

Two student societies are responsible for many of the planned activities 
for Columbia students. The Society for Theological Scholarship provides 
lectures, discussions and symposia in the interest of Christian Scholarship. 
The Society of Missionary Inquiry, promoting the concerns of World Mis- 
sions, brings speakers to the campus and conducts annually the Rock Eagle 
Missions Conference for high school and college students. 

The Wives' Club provides a program of spiritual development and 
Christian fellowship for student wives and single women students. 

Other student activities are planned and directed by the Student Gov- 
ernment Association. 



CONTINUING EDUCATION 

Each quarter groups of twelve ministers each are invited to participate in 
periods of independent study in the Seminary library. The individual study 
of these men is supplemented by seminars led by the faculty and designed 
to bring the men up to date on developments and books in the various fields 
of theological study. In addition to this program of individual study, special 
periods of study on a particular subject with seminars and lectures on that 
subject supplementing individual study are also held from time to time. 
Additional information about the Continuing Education program may be 
obtained from the Rev. Harold B. Prince.

DEGREES 
AND 

COURSES 




The basic academic program at Columbia Seminary leads to Master of 
Divinity degree. The curriculum for this degree provides required course 
work to help the student begin to understand the Bible, the history of the 
life and thought of the church, the people to whom he will minister and the 
work of the church today with special emphasis on the work of a local pas- 
tor. The Presbyterian Church has traditionally expected its pastors to be 
educationally well prepared and this curriculum seeks to start the students 
on a path leading toward that goal. Though the basic studies are designed 
primarily for men and women who plan to serve in pastoral positions in 
local churches, graduates of the seminary find themselves well equipped by 
their studies to pursue further graduate work or to enter into specialized 
ministries. 

Columbia also offers courses of study leading to the Th.M., M.C.E., and 
S.T.D. degrees. The Master of Theology program is designed for students 
holding the M.Div. degree who wish to increase their understanding of 
some particular area of theological studies. The goal of such studies would 
ordinarily be increased proficiency as a pastor, for the program is not espe- 
cially designed for those who desire to pursue doctoral studies. The student 
seeking the Th.M. degree may concentrate his studies in any area of Colum- 
bia's academic curriculum or may pursue a special program of clinical and 
academic studies leading to a Th.M. degree in Pastoral Theology, Pastoral 
Counseling or Pastoral Supervision. 

The purpose of the S.T.D. program is to prepare outstanding students 
for effective service and leadership in the parish or in some related ministry. 
The professional doctorate represents the recognition of high intellectual 
achievement plus professional capability. Although the requirements for this 
degree differ in appropriate respects from those of the established research 
degrees, the quality of achievement to be sought, examined and demon- 
strated is at the same intellectual level. The level of achievement to be 
appraised in the professional doctorate includes the student's basic knowl- 
edge, his professional competence and his capacity to integrate the two. The 
focus of the student's work for the professional doctorate shall be within 



23 



the area of ministries afforded by the parish or some related situation. 

The Master of Christian Education program is designed for those stu- 
dents who have received a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or 
university and wish to prepare for place of leadership in the educational 
program of the Church such as a Director or Minister of Christian Education. 
The two year course of studies for this degree includes basic courses in each 
area of theological studies plus additional specialized work in Christian 
Education. 



MASTER OF DIVINITY 

The standard degree of the Seminary is the Master of Divinity (M.Div.) 
Its requirements are as follows: 

1. There must be on file with the Seminary a complete and official transcript 
of credits showing graduation with a bachelor's degree from an accredited 
university or college of liberal arts and sciences, or its equivalent. 

2. The candidate must satisfactorily complete all academic requirements of 
the Seminary. These include the required courses together with enough 
electives to bring the total of credits to 140. and other academic require- 
ments such as summer reading, senior preaching and comprehensive 
examinations. These requirements may not be completed in less than 
nine quarters. The candidate must achieve an overall average of C for 
the Seminary course. 

3. The requirements of the Seminary's department of Field Education must 
be satisfactorily completed. 

4. The faculty must be satisfied that the conduct and attitude of the 
candidate is becoming a minister of the Gospel and that he gives promise 
of useful service in the ministry or other Church vocation. 

5. All bills to the Seminary must be paid and assurance given that all open 
accounts in the community and elsewhere have been satisfied. 

24 



ENGLISH COURSE 

Students from the five Synods supporting Columbia Seminary who are 
received by their presbyteries under the extraordinary case clause of the 
Book of Church Order may be granted a Diploma from the Seminary upon 
the completion of 140 hours of work with a minimum of a C average after a 
period of nine quarters in residence at the Seminary. Students who take the 
English Course are permitted to omit Hebrew, and when they do not have 
the necessary preparation in Greek, they are permitted to omit certain 
courses in New Testament exegesis. They must satisfy all other requirements 
of the Seminary. 

Application for admission to the English Course must be accompanied 
by a written request from the student's presbytery, and the Seminary re- 
serves the right to apply any tests of the student's ability which may be help- 
ful in determining the suitability of the course for him. 



UNCLASSIFIED STUDENTS 

In some instances students not enrolled in a regular program of study 
will be allowed to take courses at the Seminary as special students. A tran- 
script of courses completed will be granted to such students. 



MASTER OF THEOLOGY 

The degree of Master of Theology (Th.M.) is granted to a student who 
has spent a year or more in graduate study, has completed satisfactorily at 
least thirty-five hours of work in residence with grades that average at least 
B, has presented an acceptable thesis, and has passed a final oral examina- 
tion. The work for the degree must be completed within three academic years 
after the student has been admitted to candidacy. 

Specialization 

A student may specialize in any subdivision of the three major fields of 
the curriculum. Fifteen hours must be taken in the field of specialization, and 
an additional ten hours must be taken either in that field or in related courses. 
Ten hours must be taken in courses approved for graduate study outside the 
department of specialization. A student intending to specialize in the area 
of pastoral care and counseling is required to have clinical training with the 
Association for Clinical Pastoral Education as specified by the Professor of 
Pastoral Counseling. 

Admission To Study In The Graduate Department 

Admission to study in the graduate department is granted by the Dean of 
the Graduate Department and the Admissions Committee of the faculty, 

25 



proper application having been made through the Dean. The M.Div. degree or 
its academic equivalent and courses in Hebrew and Greek are prerequisite 
excpt for the Th.M. in Pastoral Counseling or Supervision. If a stu- 
dent's M.Div. course required less than the two biblical languages, he 
may substitute an approved language for one of them. Those students who 
plan to do their major work in the Old or New Testament departments must 
be able to handle the appropriate language with ease. In addition each appli- 
cant is expected to present evidence of achievement and competence as a 
student. Rarely can a student be expected to do satisfactory graduate work if 
he has not maintained at least a B average in his college and seminary work. 

Admission to Candidacy 

Admission to candidacy is by vote of the faculty, proper application hav- 
ing been made in writing to the Committee on Graduate Work. The faculty 
meeting in October is the deadline for admission to candidacy if the student 
expects to receive his degree the following May. 

Costs 

In addition to tuition, which is the same as for the M.Div. program, 
Graduate Students will be charged a thesis fee to be paid as follows: $25.00 
to accompany the application for admission to candidacy; and $25.00 at the 
beginning of the fall quarter each year thereafter until the degree is received. 
Failure to pay the fee will constitute withdrawal from the program. 

Association With Emory University 

Students working for their Th.M. at Columbia may, with the approval of 
their sponsoring professor and the Dean of the Graduate Department, take 
courses offered by the Candler School of Theology of Emory for full resi- 
dence credit. This working agreement appreciably widens the offerings of 
both schools. No extra fees are charged: the student pays the regular fees to 
the school in which he is enrolled. 



TH. M. IN PASTORAL THEOLOGY 

The designation of Pastoral Theology as one major area of graduate 
study is deliberately intended to be a broad category designed to include 
specialized study in the whole field of pastoral care apart from clinical 
specialization. 

The requirements for admission and graduation pertain to this degree 
as for the same degree in any other area of graduate study. 



TH. M. IN PASTORAL COUNSELING 

In addition to the Th.M. in pastoral theology, requirements for which 
are identical with those in any other department, a major in pastoral coun- 
seling is available with altered requirements because of the nature of the 
degree. 

The successful completion of an intern year in one or more of the af- 
filiate institutions of the Georgia Association for Pastoral Care is required 
Of the 35 resident academic hours required for the degree, it is possible for 
a student to accrue up to 12 academic hours in seminars available during 
the intern year. 

26 



In the second year of the program, if the student is adjudged sufficiently 
mature and competent by a multidisciplinary professional committee, he is 
admitted for counseling supervision in the Georgia Association Pastoral 
Counseling and Referral service under the supervision of Chaplains John 
Patton, Ph.D., and Calvin Kropp, M.B.A., Th.M. Most of the counseling 
supervision occurs in the center established by Columbia in cooperation with 
the Central Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. Sufficient supervision of coun- 
seling, intake, etc., is provided to qualify the candidate for the membership 
in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors, Inc. 

Also in the second year of study, sufficient academic work must be 
completed at a B average to bring the total number of hours to 35. A re- 
search project completes the course of study. 



TH. M. IN PASTORAL SUPERVISION 

This major has been developed for those students seeking to become 
accredited chaplain supervisors. An intern year must be successfully com- 
pleted in one of the affiliate institutions of the Georgia Association for 
Pastoral Care, Inc. During this year, it is possible to accrue a total of 12 
academic hours in seminars made available to students in clinical training. 
The total number of academic hours required is 35 at a B average. 

In addition a residency year must also be satisfactorily completed. The 
residency year may be elected in any institution accredited by the Associa- 
tion for Clinical Pastoral Education, Inc. Accreditation as assistant chaplain 
supervisor by any region of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education 
will complete the requirements for the degree. 



DOCTOR OF SACRED THEOLOGY 

The Curriculum 

A special effort is made in the S.T.D. program to interrelate selected 
curriculum offerings in biblical, historical, theological, ethical and societal 
studies, studies in world religion and missions, in personality and in minis- 
try. Students will be required to participate in supervised experience to in- 
crease their professional competence. 

In building their curriculums, students may make use of Ph.D. seminars 
in the Division of Religion of the Graduate School of Emory University, 
advanced electives available in the M.Div. curriculums of the three semi- 
naries, and courses developed particularly for the S.T.D. program. Work at 
the graduate level in other divisions of Emory University and Atlanta Uni- 
versity may also be included if appropriate to the student's program. Clinical 
experience is an integral part of the degree program. 

The curriculum program consists of 72 quarter hours of work. A mini- 
mum of 36 quarter hours is required in seminars, courses and directed study. 
This work must be divided among the areas of the curriculum in terms of 
the program of study developed in consultation with the student's adviser 
and approved by the S.T.D. Committee. Normally this division of work will 
include approximately one-third of the hours in ministry studies. 

In addition, the student must take five quarters of supervised ministry 
seminars and clinical work for a maximum of 36 quarter hours of credit. 

27 



This phase of the program includes at least three quarters of supervised min- 
istry seminars. These seminars will involve extensive papers which may meet 
the requirements for the doctoral project. They also involve at least five 
days per quarter on campus in planning, study, reporting and consultation. 
Within this general curricular structure, each student's program is tailored 
to meet his specific needs and interests. 

Requirements for Graduation 

In order to qualify for the S.T.D. degree, the student must complete the 
following within six calendar years after his admission to the program: (1) 
satisfy residence and clinical requirements, (2) pass a comprehensive exami- 
nation, (3) secure admission to candidacy, (4) receive approval of pastoral 
or related service proposal, (5) complete doctoral project, and (6) pass a 
final oral examination. 

Residence and Grade Requirements 

At least 36 hours of courses and seminars must be taken in consecutive 
residence involving at least three quarters; they must be completed within 
two calendar years after admission to the program. Registration for the 
summer quarter is optional. 

A minimum of one quarter of clinical work is required and should be 
completed prior to the comprehensive examination. Two quarters may be 
taken. 

All courses, seminars and directed study must be completed with an 
average of not less than 3.0 on the 4. scale. 

Admission 

Applicants must hold the M.Div. or equivalent degree from accredited 
institutions with a minimum average of 3.0 on the 4. scale. Knowledge of 
at least one language other than English (preferably one of the Biblical 
languages) is required, as well as competence in any specialized area ap- 
propriate to the student's planned field of study. 

A qualifying examination covering the content of the M.Div. or equiva- 
lent degree program is required as a part of the admission process, in addi- 
tion to a satisfactory appraisal of the student's previous professional practice. 
Qualifying examinations will be given at Bishops' Hall at Emory University 
on April 21, 1969 and July 14, 1969. Applications will be received until 
April 7, 1969 for the April examination and until June 30. 1969 for the 
July examination. Those who are eligible to sit for the examination will be 
notified. 

A $10 application fee (non-refundable) is required with the initial ap- 
plication papers. 

Applicants who take the April qualifying examination will be notified 
of their acceptance or rejection by May 10; those who take the July quali- 
fying examination will be notified by August 1. 

Expenses 

Tuition is $265 per quarter ($795 per academic year). These charges 
are limited to six quarters for those who pursue full-time study. Those who 
elect to pursue the studies on a part-time basis will be charged at the rate 
of $26.50 per quarter-hour of credit (not to exceed 72 quarter hours).

The task of theological education is a responsibility Columbia shares 
with the whole Church. Many friends, through small and large gifts, have 
faithfully supported Columbia. From time to time we publish lists acknowl- 
edging the particular ways Christian men and women have aided us in ful- 
filling our role in theological education. In this catalog, by this statement, 
we call attention to the fact that without these gifts we could not carry on 
our work. Costs for a year's education exceed student fees by over $2,000 
for each student at Columbia Seminary. This $2,000 is part of the Church's 
annual investment in those men and women who have dedicated their lives 
to places of full-time service in the Church. Through the budget benevolences 
of the five supporting synods, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and 
South Carolina, from the investment of endowed funds, and by special gifts 
of friends Columbia Seminary meets its expenses.
