The Graduate Theological Union is an educational crossroads for teaching, research, ministry and service. As the largest partnership of seminaries and graduate schools in the U.S., we build bridges among many Christian denominations and other faith traditions.

Located in Berkeley, California, where the diversity of cultures and faith traditions reflects our own, study at the GTU is intellectually challenging and rich in resources. As a union, we have the largest theological faculty in the United States, including renowned experts in Christian spirituality and liturgical studies as well as critical and creative scholars in 14 other areas. Students can pursue the Ph.D., Th.D., and M.A., plus two joint Ph.D. programs with the University of California, Berkeley.

The GTU’s interfaith approach attracts leading theologians, scholars of religion, and students from around the world who are pursuing new models for interreligious collaboration. Did you know that GTU offers a Center for Jewish Studies, a Center for Islamic Studies, a project called Partnerships in Asian Religions, Cultures, and Theologies, and a program in Women’s Studies in Religion?
