Answers
to Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply to JETS?
Application
forms are available from the Admissions Office or by email request at admissions@jets.edu. Applicants for the preparatory or basic level
programs need to have passed Tawjihi or equivalent (see the Accreditation
section for academic clarifications of degree programs). To enroll in any of our advanced level
programs applicants require a minimum B.Th. or B.A. degree from a recognized
college or university. Any exceptions
need the approval of the Academic Committee.
To
enroll in the D. Min program applicants require an M. Div or Th. M degree from
a recognized seminary, that meets
certain biblical language and English language requirements.
When can I apply?
Applications
for the fall semester must be received by the second week of July, while
applications for the spring semester must be received by the second week of December. Applications for the summer semester must be
received by the second week of April. All
required reference forms must also be sent in by the same deadlines. Application information or references
received after the above mentioned dates may delay acceptance by up to one
year. Please note that students accepted off-season at the advanced level will
find adjusting to courses difficult, but possible. They will be expected to
work hard to maintain a satisfactory GPA.
Please
also note that all M. Div and Th.M. applicants are required to have adequately
met TOEFL exam requirements in order to qualify for entry into the program.
Are scholarship funds available?
There
are several different types of financial aid available for qualifying students. JETS works hard to keep costs as low as
possible for the students by soliciting donor gifts as subsidies. Applications
for financial aid must be received by the same deadlines as the student
applications. Forms can be obtained from
the Admissions Office by email request at admissions@jets.edu
All
students receiving scholarship funds (either tuition or living) are required to
complete reports for the Development Department when requested. Our Development Department works hard to make
sure students pay only a fraction of the actual cost of their education.
Is housing available?
At
present all students are responsible for finding their own accommodation. The Office of Student and Alumni Affairs can
give listings of some available housing in various areas of Amman. Notices are regularly posted on campus bulletin
boards by students looking for roommates or by those seeking to rent to JETS
students.
Is there job placement assistance after graduation?
JETS
cannot guarantee any student employment after graduation. However, the Dean of Student and Alumni
Affairs works hard to inform churches and Christian organizations within the Arab
World of gifted and trained graduates who are looking for a place of
service. Our students and graduates
serve in several church and para church organizations throughout the Middle East.
Graduates
who have developed ministry skills by applying what they learned during their
program of study are often sought after by churches and Christian organizations
in the region.
