Considering graduate education in theology and ministry is often a discernment process. Washington Theological Union wants to assist you with information and conversation as you consider your next steps. There are many options—degree programs, graduate certificates, and continuing education opportunities. There are academic degrees and pastoral degrees—and different paths to doctoral work. Allow us to assist you not only with the step-by-step process for application for admission into the program of your choice, but in clarifying the options for you in light of your goals and WTU’s offerings. We are happy to speak with you by phone, in person, or through email. An on-site visit and perhaps attending a class or two may also give you a better sense of the “fit” for you. See the contact information below.
