Education & Preparation

The Berkeley Experience

Berkeley seeks to cultivate in its graduates an ability to work successfully within church structures and institutions, but also to have the independence of mind and heart to offer creative new directions for the church’s life and ministry. Berkeley students are committed to academic excellence, desire deep spiritual insight and personal maturity, and have the potential for a reflective theological wisdom that can meaningfully articulate the Christian faith in today’s secular society.

Berkeley Divinity School students undertake a Diploma or Certificate in Anglican Studies, in conjunction with the Yale Master of Divinity or Master of Arts in Religion degree.
