Application process
Applications for the 2025-26 academic year are now open. Application deadline is April 30, 2025. There is no mid-year entry into AHOS programs.
All applicants must be able to attend the in-person Residency at the start of each academic year, held at Antiochian Village during late August/early September. All MDiv and PhD students are required to attend two weeks at a time; all others attend one week.

MTS or Certificate? The coursework is the same for both programs; the only difference is that our MTS students pursue a Thesis after coursework is completed, and are required to have earned a prior undergraduate degree. If your long-term goal is to earn the Master’s degree, please apply directly to the MTS program, rather than the St. Stephen’s Certificate program.
