Graduate programs in religion
- Graduate programs in religion
In the United States, graduate departments of religion tend to provide programs for both the advanced study of theology and religious studies. Generally Ph.D. programs exist at universities, but there are some notable seminary exceptions. Some of the programs which are consistently ranked near the top are Harvard, Yale, Chicago, Notre Dame, Duke University, Emory, Vanderbilt, The Claremont Graduate University School of Religion, Princeton Theological Seminary, Fuller Theological Seminary, and Union Theological Seminary in New York. Several public schools such as the University of Virginia also have well regarded programs, though these programs focus more on the academic study of religion rather than in practical theology.
Accreditation
However, while many graduate programs are accredited, some are not accredited and still others are diploma mills. In North America, besides the regional accreditors that schools such as Harvard Divinity School and Princeton Theological Seminary have, there are four private and independent religious recognized accreditation associations of higher learning approved by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and United States Department of Education.
