Perkins offers information session for prospective students
Perkins School of Theology will host Inside Perkins, a two-day event for prospective degree and non-degree students, February 20–21, 2014.
Inside Perkins offers the opportunity for prospective students to meet faculty, interact with current students, and learn about admissions and financial aid.
“Inside Perkins is the best way to get to know us,” says Tracy Anne Allred, director of Student Services at Perkins School of Theology. “These events give prospective students the opportunity to experience and engage the Perkins community and discover the many resources available here for theological education and preparation for ministry.” View detailed schedule [PDF].
