School of Theology
June 25 - July 16, 2008
The University of the South established the Graduate School of Theology in 1937 to afford clergy an opportunity for post-ordination study, in close per-sonal contact with recognized leaders of theological knowledge and interpreta-tion. In 1974 the Doctor of Ministry Program was begun.
The Advanced Degrees Program offers two post-ordination graduate degree programs. The Doctor of Ministry program stresses developing competence in the practice of ministry, and requires four summers of study. The Master of Sa-cred Theology program also requires four summers of study, and is an academic research program. Both programs provide financial aid to the deserving student. The School of Theology also invites special students, not necessarily seeking a degree program, to participate in the summer session.
The sessions of the Summer School are held every year, usually from late June through July. The faculty is made up largely of members of the School of Theology, with at least one faculty member from another theological school. Consequently, the summer program has a more ecumenical flavor than the regular term and provides an educational opportunity in an atmosphere of diversity and scholarly depth. A catalog describing the summer program in detail may be obtained by writing to the Director of the Advanced Degrees Program of the School of Theology, 335 Tennessee Avenue, Sewanee, Tennessee 37383-0001.
