Academic Excellence
“I think the student-teacher ratio is a strong point of our program. Students have access to the faculty in ways that they would not have at a larger divinity school. Also, we offer a number of electives that provide students an opportunity to learn first-hand from our respective research interests.

We encourage our students to bring their questions to the table and to struggle for answers – usually those answers that are not the ‘easy’ or ‘status quo’ answers that seem to dictate so many societal and ecclesial debates today.”
