CDSP at a Glance

The CDSP experience integrates scholarship, reflection, worship, spirituality, and the practice of ministry.

Women and men come to our historic Berkeley, California campus or attend classes online from urban and rural settings, small towns, and parishes of all sizes around the world. Their geographic and demographic diversity enriches an academic community that thrives in the unique ecumenical and inter-religious setting of the Graduate Theological Union. Students enrolled in the 2012-13 academic year range in ages from their early 20's to their 70's, and come from 38 dioceses in 24 states and 7 countries.
