At Bangor Theological Seminary, we've been helping people explore the important questions about theological education since 1814! .

Many students begin with questions about their commitments and callings as well as discerning directions that lead from seminary to the wide variety of options and opportunities available after graduation.

 

All students, whether full- or part-time, M.A., or M.Div. benefit from being part of the Seminary community. Our small class sizes and commitment to second-career students and small/rural church ministry make BTS a place of challenging scholarship, lively inquiry, and faithful witness.

 

We invite you to experience this firsthand and look forward to meeting you!

  • one-on-one time with the Director of Admissions and/or a faculty member

  •  worship (for visits on days there is chapel)

  • a meal with current students

  • visiting a class

  • financial aid discussion

Recruitment Events - Sample Schedules

 


 

 Information evenings  [back to top]

Information Evenings are informal events, so there is no fixed agenda. Participants use the time to ask questions and to receive information that is relevant to their interests.

 

The Director of Admissions and Financial Aid is available to talk about the programs in general as well as answering specific questions. This is a good event for those who are just wanting to see what seminary is all about, and may lead to more exploration.
