It is possible to pursue both the M.Div. and M.A. programs concurrently at CTU. Students may choose to concentrate in Interreligious Dialogue . The new Master of Arts in Theology with a concentration in interreligious dialogue focusing on the Abrahamic Traditions is designed for Jewish, Christian and Muslim Students seeking theological preparation for effective leadership in interreligious dialogue and/or for advanced graduate studies in religion and religious pluralism. The concentration will draw on the scholarship and vast dialogue experience of our Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faculty members (affiliated with the school's Catholic-Jewish and Catholic-Muslim Studies Programs) as it seeks to bring together a balance of Jewish, Christian and Muslim students to study each other's traditions in a rich learning environment in which all three faiths are represented and where actual dialogue will take place within the context of the program. Students in the concentration will have access to the wide-ranging academic resources of the Association of Chicago Theological Schools, particularly the Hyde Park schools, as well as Spertus College of Judaica, the American Islamic College and the University of Chicago. This concentration would be of particular interest for individuals pursuing careers in: (a) teaching and/or research in the comparative study of the Abrahamic traditions; (b) directing interreligious dialogue and related programs in a congregational or other faith-based organizational context; and/or (c) business or government where knowledge of other religious traditions and methods of dialogue may be an invaluable asset.
