University of Chicago Divinity School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of Chicago Divinity School is a graduate institution at the University of Chicago dedicated to the training of academics and clergy across religious boundaries. Formed under Baptist auspices, the school today lacks any sectarian tests or affiliations, despite having a largely Judeo-Christian numerical leaning in terms of its faculty and student body in line with other University affiliated divinity schools in the United States. Along with Harvard, Yale, and Vanderbilt Divinity schools, it is responsible for training the majority of those appointed to tenure track positions in religious studies at American universities. It is ranked first in the field of religious studies according to the National Research Council [1]'s measure of faculty quality in its survey of all doctoral granting programs in religious studies.
