If you've taken religion courses in your undergraduate program (whether at a Baptist college or another university), you may be able to get a head start on seminary through the Baptist College Partnership Program at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Based on your undergraduate studies, you may be able to earn graduate credit through testing out of some introductory graduate classes and by taking advanced seminars especially designed for college religion students. Up to 16 semester hours can be earned through testing and up to 16 hours of credit may be earned by means of the special one-week seminars. Another 4 hours may be earned by independent studies based on courses taken at the baccalaureate level. With the Baptist College Partnership, you may also begin taking classes at the seminary the summer after your junior year!
