The University of Chicago Divinity School

One of the world's leading institutions in the academic study of religion, the Divinity School prepares students for careers in scholarship, teaching, and public religious leadership. The School generates knowledge about the history, theology, beliefs, and practices of world religions through a broad and rich array of methodological and theoretical approaches that is deeply informed, curious, and engaged. No tradition is given a privileged intellectual place here; the claims of all religious traditions are assessed by the standards of reasoned inquiry. The result is a diverse community of scholars and professionals who guide the public understanding of religion.
