| |
|
 |
Even if you have
not yet applied and been accepted to one of the graduate programs in
the School of Religion, you may feel free to contact the
Dean, Dr.
John Webster, to discuss which program is best suited for your
needs and aspirations and to design a potential course of studies. |
|
After
you have been accepted to one of the graduate programs, you should make an appointment to see Dr.
Webster to: (Please bring a copy of your undergraduate
transcript.)
- Receive the assignment of an advisor.
- Establish a program checksheet.
- Decide your major, minor, or specialization, as appropriate.
- Determine your level of advanced standing, as appropriate.
|
|
Before
you register for courses each quarter, you must confer with
your advisor on your progress to date and your course plans
for the new term. While your advisor will help you with this, you
are ultimately responsible for completing all the requirements of
your program. |
|
The School of
Religion offers most of the graduate courses no more than once per
year. Many courses are offered only once every two years. Therefore,
it is vital that you take the required courses when they are
offered. Click here to visit the page that lists the graduate courses in religion
offered during the current academic year. There you will find
required and elective courses identified for the M.Div/ MPS and MA
programs. The basic rule of advising is for you to register in a
given quarter for any listed required course in your program that
you have not yet taken.
|
|
If you
have room for additional courses, you may register for elective courses. However, you should remember not
to exceed the number of elective units for your program (11 for MPS
and 3 for MA, and a varing number for the M.Div). Otherwise, you will complete your program with more
units and greater expense than necessary. |
|
Students
in the MA program work with a small faculty committee to
schedule their comprehensive and language examinations and to
prepare their theses. |
