Curriculum & Courses
Courses may be chosen from the University of Chicago and the offerings of the Association of Chicago Theological Schools (ACTS), the ecumenical consortium of which we are a part.
The curriculum is comprised of the following elements:
Twelve
(12) semester courses
A course on pedagogy
One Qualifying
Examination
One Doctoral
Field Examination
Two language
exams (additional for Bible majors, see catalog)
One semester
Teaching Assistant or Research Assistant experience
Public presentation of dissertation proposal.
Dissertation and Colloquy
The essential elements of the curriculum are divided into three components of the graduate program: 1. Courses, 2. Exams, 3. Dissertation. Each of these three elements is weighted equally and together build a successful program.
A full time student taking three courses per semester can plan to finish the program in approximately four to five years to finish the PhD program. Although this pace is possible, every student takes the program at his or her own pace.
