Welcome to our International Student Admissions page. Each year, students from across the globe \u2013 representing dozens of countries, cultures, and traditions \u2013 choose to enroll in Claremont School of Theology’s programs.<\/p>

We now offer programs that allow students to study while remaining primarily in their own contexts, including our fully remote MDiv program. Ask your admissions counselor about all of the different ways you can complete a CST program!<\/p>

IMPORTANT UPDATE:<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div>

CST degrees are offered in a variety of learning modalities. <\/b>Please review your options<\/strong> on this page<\/strong> before applying to a program.<\/b><\/a><\/p>

Students who are attending CST as\u00a0 remote students do not need to relocate to the Los Angeles area or live near the CST campus in order to complete a CST degree. Residential students are expected to live in close enough proximity to the CST campus to attend weekly class sessions on time, and should take into account traffic and public transportation schedules when selecting their housing. <\/b><\/p>

CST no longer offers long-term student housing for entering students. But our leadership continues to work to identify options for potential short-term housing stays in order to assist students during intensive course visits. We will share more details about those options as they become available.<\/b><\/p>

If you are interested in learning more, <\/b>please contact the Admissions Office (<\/b>admission@cst.edu<\/b><\/a>).<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Students attending CST on an F-1 visa must live in close enough proximity to the campus to attend in-person classes for which they have registered. Students may determine that proximity, and should take into account travel times (including traffic, transit needs, and other potential issues that may cause them to be tardy or absent) to ensure that they are able to attend classes at the CST campus as scheduled. Class instructors will take attendance to verify student attendance. Satisfactory attendance will be determined by each instructor.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

International applicants will be considered for institutional aid including merit scholarships and endowed funds. All scholarships and endowed funds are based on a variety of criteria and availability. To see current financial aid options, please visit this page<\/a>.<\/p>

Some scholarships are awarded automatically at the time of admission based on the strength of admissions application. Other scholarships require additional applications, which eligible applicants will be notified of.\u00a0<\/p>

Similar to other Theological Institutions, full scholarships are rare. International students should be prepared to seek out sponsors and additional resources to support their overall educational and living expenses while studying at Claremont School of Theology.<\/p>

It is very important that you estimate your educational and living expenses carefully to make certain that you will have sufficient funds available to meet all your needs while studying at CST. You should not expect to receive any additional scholarships or financial assistance from the institution once you have registered for classes.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
