What is the relationship between the GTU and DSPT?
The DSPT is one of nine member schools and eleven affiliated institutes that together make up the consortium known as the Graduate Theological Union. Each member school offers its own degree programs and participates in the GTU Common MA program, and many DSPT faculty serve as core doctoral faculty for the GTU. Each member school has its own character, but all share a common library, registrar, financial aid office, and other services. A student at one GTU school is encouraged to take courses throughout the GTU as well as at UC Berkeley.

The DSPT was the first of the three Catholic schools to join the GTU (in 1964), and it remains the only member school offering programs in philosophy as well as theology. We are also the only GTU member school offering our own MA Theology program in addition to participating in the GTU Common MA program. The DSPT is an invaluable member of the GTU community, offering rigorous courses spanning the entire Western tradition. More GTU students take classes
