The University of Chicago Divinity School Information Session
Join a community of scholars and professionals who guide the public’s understanding of religion.
Want to dive more deeply into questions big and small about religion as a category and the religions of the world, their history, beliefs, and practices?
Students with significant backgrounds in fields across the humanities and social sciences are invited to learn more about graduate study and leadership in religion at the University of Chicago Divinity School.
MA/PhD Alumnus and Assistant Dean of Students, Nathan J. Hardy, will share information about what makes the Divinity School a community of learning in which reasoned inquiry about religion informs various kinds of professional formation, including careers in the academy, religious leadership, non-profits, government, museums, research institutes, and more.
Programs offered:
- PhD Program - The PhD program is a rigorous, interdisciplinary course of advanced study that prepares students for careers in research, teaching, and publicly-engaged leadership.
