Prospective Students

Valerie NevermanWelcome!

As you explore what ESR has to offer and how it might fit with your own calling and desire to better know God, please begin an active conversation with us.  We would be happy to put you in touch with a faculty member, a current student, or arrange a campus visit. 

While there are many deeper spiritual questions about calling and ministry to be considered in this process, there are also practical questions to be considered: When would be the best time to start?  What kinds of scholarships and loans are available to assist me?  How are online courses set up?  Where do Access students stay when they come to campus for two-week intensives?  What courses are available next semester?  Where do residential ESR students live?  Who should write my letters of recommendation if I’m applying for the Cooper Scholarship? 

From my experience of what people generally want to know, I suggest that you take a look at the following links to begin with:

The Student Academic Services website has the academic calendar for the year, as well as course schedules:

The checklist for applications and links to forms is here:

And information about arranging a visit is here:

Please let us know you are interested!  You can request a catalog and information specific to your interests here:

If you have questions during this process, please contact me.  If I do not know the answer, I will help you find out who does.

Blessings,
