ADVANCED STANDING Denver Seminary permits the total number of credits allowed by the Association of Theological Seminaries to be awarded through advanced standing credit toward a Master of Arts or Master of Divinity, regardless of the way it is earned (no advanced standing is available for non-degree students). Certificate seeking students may receive advanced standing but may not exceed a total of 1/3 of their total credits from advanced standing (or a combination of advanced standing and transfer credits). Advanced standing credit, which reduces the number of hours needed to complete a degree, may be earned by either or both of the methods detailed below.

Advanced standing exams are offered at the beginning of each semester. See the Academic Calendar for exact dates. 1. Pass a proficiency exam in a particular subject matter.
