Admissions to Cheongshim Graduate School of Theology

Cheongshim Graduate School of Theology was established according to the vision and plan of its founders, True Parents. Their desire has been to establish a university on our land at Cheongpyeong that will become well-known throughout the world (from a speech given in 1972). In 1999, they re-emphasized the necessity of establishing it soon.
Cheongshim Graduate School of Theology is located just along the road from Cheongpyeong Training Center. Just two years after the ground-breaking ceremony for its construction, the graduate school is ready to welcome its first students, who will study on a full scholarship. The graduate school’s motto is Love God , Love Humanity, Love the Kingdom of God. Members living outside Korea are warmly welcomed to apply (see details on admissions below).
