What Students Are Saying

Apply early if you are interested in the Chicago campus. Spots fill up very quickly. Spokane was considered the overflow campus the past few years but is now becoming the Moody boom-college with how much it is growing. So apply early, and don't be afraid to apply to Spokane (biased but really... it's an incredible campus even though you can't search too much for it).
Ryan from Gilberts, IL
Come to Moody with a humble heart and a desire to truly learn. Don’t come if you think you already know it all, and you just want a degree saying that you do. Come to learn, not just pass classes. Be sure that you are fully committed to Christ.
Nathan - New Port Richey, FL
Seek out your gifts.
Have a heart for people.
Desire adventure.
Love God.
Laurel from St. Louis, Missouri
Don't rush or cram the information, but absorb all you can from your studies. Take time to really learn from the professors.
Elisabeth from Prophetstown, IL
Be willing to be open to what God is showing you, and keep him your constant focus.
Melinda from Chicago, IL
Live their lives pleasing to our God with an impeccable testimony and be interested in ministry; that's all Moody wants!
Bianca from Chicago, IL
1. Apply, apply, apply
2. Be prepared to be stretched and grown academically, spiritually, and emotionally.
3. Visit the campus during the school year on a visit day and a day that isn't a formal visit day to get a feel for the campus and community at Moody.
Arielle from Walworth, WI
Do not be lazy. If you are expecting a Bible school to be easy, you are sorely mistaken. The fact that it is a Bible school means you will be doing a lot of research and writing many long papers.
The Spokane campus is very small so take advantage of being able to form relationships with your professors and the faculty.
Natalia from Spokane, WA
1) Apply early

2) Pray about what ministry to go into

3) If you get accepted into the Spokane Campus, it's okay. If you're given the opportunity to wait until the spring semester to go to Chicago, take that as well.

4) Get ministry experience. Not just one time trips but multiple activities.
