Prospective students should plan a visit to ATS to familiarize themselves with the campus, meet the faculty, and understand the academic and spiritual environment. During this visit, eligible students can fill out an application form if they meet the necessary academic and spiritual qualifications. A minimum GPA of 2.3 (Grade “C”) is required for theological studies, and applicants must demonstrate a strong Christian commitment. The admission staff will review the applicant’s biblical knowledge, educational background, personal attributes, and evidence of a dedicated Christian life and service.
Applicants must submit a completed application form to the registrar's office along with several required documents. These include Xeroxed copies of all university or college certificates and mark sheets, one recent passport-sized photograph, a recommendation letter from the applicant’s local church pastor or elder, a conduct certificate from the applicant’s previous college, a medical report detailing the applicant’s physical health status, and a written testimony of the applicant’s saving faith and Christian journey.
Only those applicants who meet the initial requirements will be allowed to sit for the entrance exam. This written test will assess the applicant's general knowledge of the Bible, and candidates must achieve at least a “C” (GPA 2.3) to pass the exam.
Candidates who pass the written test will be invited for a formal interview, typically conducted by a panel of faculty members. The interview will cover topics such as the applicant’s motivation, theological understanding, personal background, and future goals. The panel will assess the candidate’s communication skills, theological insight, and overall readiness for the program.
The names of the candidates who successfully pass both the written test and the interview will be published on the notice board. These selected candidates will receive admission offers and must confirm their acceptance within seven days before the start of classes. This confirmation process may involve signing an acceptance letter and possibly paying an admission fee to secure their spot. By following these detailed steps, prospective students can navigate the competitive admission process at ATS successfully.
