Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley
- Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley
The Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley (JSTB) is one of the member colleges of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
JSTB is located two blocks north of the UC Berkeley campus, and about two blocks east of "Holy Hill" the central area of the Graduate Theological Union. JSTB accepts students who are lay or ordained.
JSTB's mission is to prepare lay and ordained for ministry in the Roman Catholic Church, and contribute to the scholarly formation of all of its students, and fellow GTU students, whether headed for ministry, academics, or other fields. Originally established in 1934 at Los Gatos, California as Alma College, JSTB was founded to serve the needs of the California and Oregon Provinces of the Society of Jesus.
In 1969, the school moved to Berkeley to join the Graduate Theological Union. That same year, its name was changed to the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. JSTB is only one of two Jesuit-operated theological schools in the United States, the other being Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
JSTB is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the American Association of Theological Schools, and by the Vatican's Congregation for Catholic Education as an Ecclesiastical Faculty of Theology. It offers the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Arts in Biblical Languages, Master of Divinity, Master of Theological Studies, Master of Theology, Bachelor, Licentiate and Doctor of Sacred Theology (these last three are "pontifical degrees"), and participates in the Doctor of Philosophy program of the Graduate Theological Union.
