What would you like to do?
- Take one course without applying: Kwaray courses are open to anyone, no admissions process required.
- Study for a degree: the MDiv, MAST, MTS, DMin, and graduate certificates are accredited PSR programs.
- Form myself among changemakers: PSR Collective gathers leaders for formation without a degree commitment.
- Figure out the order: the pathway composer lays out a sequence from where you are now.
- Ask admissions a question: tell the team what you are considering, and they’ll help you compare options.
The hill itself
A consortium you can walk in ten minutes
The GTU brings more than twenty seminaries, schools, and institutes together on the Berkeley hillside. As a PSR student, you can draw from that wider community while staying rooted at PSR.
Learning beyond PSR
Kwaray brings partner courses together
Kwaray hosts course collections from seminaries and faith-based organizations, including Auburn Theological Seminary, PAX, the Disciples Seminary Foundation, and the Ignite Institute.
PSR created Kwaray with a $5 million Lilly Endowment grant so seminaries and faith-based organizations could share courses, learning design, and community tools. That is why PSR Collective appears alongside work from those partner organizations.
