It does not offer degrees. Rather, it offers educational programs focused on important issues that arise in religious communities and the larger society, and that demand both theological and practical responses. The educational style encourages serious involvement of all participants. The goal of all programs is the ongoing transformation of God's people individually and, especially, in community. Enrollment in all programs is limited in order to allow for maximum interaction among participants and with teaching staff.
Resident programs require full-time participation for an extended period.
Most are held in New York City in the Auburn building on the campus of Union Theological Seminary. Three weeks before the program begins, you will be notified of the free evenings so that you may order theater tickets or make other plans to explore New York. In addition to this free time, many programs include, as part of the curriculum, the religious and cultural resources of the city. Since enrollment in all of the programs is limited, you are urged to apply as early as possible, especially if you need housing. If a program is full, we will notify you.
