Graduate Theological Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Graduate Theological Union is a consortium of nine independent theological schools and eight program centers in Berkeley, California. The close relationship among these schools is meant to encourage ecumenical and interfaith dialogue. Students may take classes at any of the member schools, most of which are within a few city blocks of one another. The GTU offers the Ph.D., Th.D., and M.A. degrees, while each of the nine member schools offers the M.Div. degree in preparation for the ministry. The GTU maintains a single comprehensive library for all of its member schools. It was founded in the early 1960s and today serves approximately 1300 students.
