Degree offered: Ph.D.
Building on the pioneering legacy of the Graduate Theological Union’s interdisciplinary study of faith traditions and the arts, the program is devoted to this study in its many dimensions, including the historical, theological, and aesthetic. Students pursue this study through an emphasis on the history of art and faith traditions or through philosophical and theological aesthetics.

Objectives
The program in Art and Religion engages doctoral students in a dynamic scholarly learning community, focusing on critical reflection on the arts as a locus of religious meaning. The program prepares students to find where art and faith traditions meet in academic, religious, and art institutions. Students who complete the program will be able to interpret the language of religious symbolism embodied in the arts and they will acquire expertise in discerning how the interrelationship between art and religion impacts history, culture, spirituality, and ritual. Our graduates are able to teach, research, and write in the areas of art and faith traditions, especially the visual arts, or aesthetics.

Admission Requirements
Persons applying for the program are expected to have an MA, or the academic equivalent, in art history, theology and art, or aesthetics.

Language Requirements
Students must have proficiency in two languages other than English. One of these must be German, Spanish, or French. Plans for acquiring sufficient language proficiency are established on an individual basis by the student in consultation with the academic advisor.
