Chicago Theological Seminary
The Chicago Theological Seminary has been at the center of transformative theological education since 1855, with a long-standing concern for social reform and social justice. CTS also has been a pioneer in Clinical Pastoral Education since the 1920’s.
Those who attend ISL may participate in a joint program in spiritual direction and spiritual leadership combining ISL’s program and the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree at Chicago Theological Seminary, an ecumenical seminary related to the United Church of Christ. Successful completion of the ISL weekday program, either as a full-time or part-time participant, will be equivalent to three of the nine courses required for completion of the D.Min. degree. Admission to both institutions is required to participate in this joint program.
The Doctor of Ministry is an advanced professional degree. At a minimum, participants must possess Master of Divinity or equivalent degree(s). A major strength of the CTS program is its combining theological inquiry with flexibility in shaping individualized programs of study. For more information contact Director of Admission, 1164 E. 58th Street, Chicago, IL 60637; www.ctschicago.edu.
