Drew Theological School Open House

Open Doors

During “Open Doors @ Drew,” we invite prospective students from the Mid-Atlantic and beyond to spend a part or the whole of a day engaging current students and faculty, visiting classes, worshiping in chapel, touring the campus and meeting other prospective students. This day is intended for persons considering the Master of Divinity, Master of Arts, or Master of Arts in Ministry at Drew Theological School and is an ideal opportunity for those who might not otherwise be able to visit Drew before deciding to begin seminary. There is no charge to participate in Open Doors @ Drew.

During the day, you will have opportunities to hear why other prospective students are considering theological education and to sit in classrooms with students who have already made that decision. You will experience first-hand the rich diversity of the Drew faculty and student body. Most likely, you will meet someone a lot like yourself and others who seem splendidly different. In chapel, you will hear inspired words and sing with the seminary choir. If you choose to take the campus tour, you will be immersed in our forested campus and see the variety of activities that keep our campus buzzing. Later in the day, you will hear from a university representative about opportunities for scholarships and financial aid, Admissions will describe our free online application process, and you will learn more about our multiple housing options.
