Criswell College Admissions

Criswell College has open admission with a 100% acceptance rate. This means virtually every applicant who meets basic requirements gets in. The school doesn't publish SAT or ACT score ranges, reflecting its focus on calling rather than test scores. With only 118 students enrolled, Criswell carefully selects candidates who demonstrate a clear commitment to Christian ministry. The college seeks students with a genuine sense of calling to serve in pastoral roles, missionary work, or Christian education. Academic preparation matters less than spiritual maturity and dedication to Southern Baptist principles. Applicants should be ready for intensive biblical studies and theological training in a tight-knit community environment.
