Religious Studies and Theology PhD

Key facts:

The academic disciplines represented by a diverse range of faculty, combined with multidenominational and interfaith cooperation, provide a rich environment for developing one's academic voice. The GTU has the faculty and research resources to offer a distinctively interdisciplinary approach to scholarship within one's specialized concentration.

The PhD program also places theological or religious studies in the context of university research disciplines, and students are required to engage such a discipline in order to provide an additional critical and theoretical dimension to their work. Most students pursue this dimension of their program by working with a faculty member from the University of California at Berkeley, just a block away from the GTU.
