Student founded and organized, the bookstore is run as a cooperative and has several branch bookstores. The chief academic officers of each school form the planning, coordinating and decision-making body for the schools. The Cluster seeks to promote cooperation among the academic programs of its member institutions by creating and promoting joint programs of particular interest to the students and faculty of the Cluster schools. Chicago Theological Seminary students have access to Cluster seminary school resources and Cluster libraries for minimal or no additional cost. Elective and core courses are offered at both the Masters and Doctoral levels.
Students enroll in the courses through the seminary to which they are admitted.
Contact the Director of Studies at CTS for further information. Through ACTS, Chicago Theological Seminary also maintains a reciprocal relationship with Spertus College of Judaica. Most members of ACTS maintain compatible hourly, term, and vacation schedules and publish an ACTS catalog containing a comprehensive listing of all courses being offered for cross-registration. The nine Protestant and two Roman Catholic seminaries provide students with over one thousand courses, five thousand periodicals, library resources of 1.2 million volumes, three hundred faculty members, and over three thousand five hundred seminarians. Chicago Theological Seminary students have access to all ACTS courses and ACTS libraries at no additional cost.
