Students in the Master of Arts Program seek to understand the issues and make a difference with their pursuits. By studying with faculty and students from across the participating schools of the GTU community, our MA students experience true dialogue – talking with each other across what might be entrenched or insurmountable differences. In our new fully online MA degree, the GTU provides students with the opportunities to pursue intensive study of many religious traditions as well as interdisciplinary topics such as art and religion or theology and science.

Applying to grad school? Our annual Statement of Purpose Workshop is designed to help you with a key component in the process.

The annual Statement of Purpose (SOP) Workshop is presented by the GTU Admissions Office and led by Professor Arthur Holder. This event will help prepare applicants to write a statement of purpose for a graduate program application. Our panelists will speak on the qualities of a strong statement of purpose, best practices, and tips to make a statement stand out. A live Q&A will follow.

Apply by October 1st for Spring semester entrance into the GTU's MA program. In the MA program, students choose from over thirty concentrations grouped into four interdisciplinary departments: Sacred Texts and Their Interpretation, Historical and Cultural Studies of Religion, Theology and Ethics, and Religion and Practice.

One of the best ways to get a sense of whether the GTU is right for you is to hear directly from our current students about their experiences. We’ve set up a special webinar for Thursday, February 21, at 11:00 am (PST) to give you a unique opportunity to do exactly that. In just 20 minutes, you’ll hear three current students--Myoung-ho Sin, Laura Dunn, and Matthew Hartman--chat about their GTU experiences and their fields of study, and then you’ll have an opportunity to ask questions.
