Qualification Requirements

Applications are welcome from students from various academic backgrounds. Many applicants have already done extensive work in Religious Studies, either as undergraduates, or in post-baccalaureate or Masters programs elsewhere, while other applicants often will have majored in classics, philosophy, history, a modern language and literature, or area studies.

A strong command of the English language is necessary for successful study at Penn. Applicants whose families do not speak English at home, or applicants who have not attended a high school or secondary school where the primary language of instruction is English, are asked to take the TOEFL, the Test of English as a Foreign Language, administered by the Educational Testing Service. In the event the TOEFL is not readily accessible, Penn will accept results from the IELTS, the International English Language Testing System.
