Admissions Program

Students interested in pursuing degree programs at St. Petersburg Seminary and Yeshiva should apply for admission as soon as possible in advance of their first enrollment (see “Application Procedures” below).  Persons intending to audit courses only, or entering as special students, need only fill out the Application Form before classes begin, since their transcripts and other records, as may be required, will not need to be evaluated before their enrollment.

​

To be formally admitted to the bachelor’s program the student must have completed an Associate of Arts Degree. or its equivalent (see Catalog, p. 15, “Equivalency to the Associate of Arts Degree”).  Those students who have not completed the admission requirements may be provisionally admitted and allowed to take their first class.  They must complete an A.A. or its equivalent prior to completion of the last 15 credits of the bachelor’s degree program.
