Auditor’s Policy

​

While Redeemer Seminary grants ministry degrees (M.Div.) only to men based on a biblical understanding of church leadership (1 Tim. 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Pet. 5:1-4), the Seminary welcomes both men and women to attend classes on the basis of audit who are not pursuing the Master of Divinity as a degree.
