Over its 98-year history, Starr King School has held fast to its purpose - to
educate women and men for religious leadership, especially Unitarian
Universalist ministry. At the school's heart is a desire to respond to the call
of love and life, and a belief in the possibilities that lie within human
beings.
Each student engages in a process of self-direction to work towards the
Master of Divinity degree. A program of study is given shape by one's vocational
aim, gifts, interests, questions, experience, and needs. The School works in
partnership with the student in the charting of the educational course,
encouraging, making suggestions, offering resources, and presenting challenges.

Description:
Starr King now also offers a two-year M.A. (jointly with the Graduate
Theological Union) in theological studies. This academic degree is designed for
those preparing for vocations in scholarship and teaching.
Students must affiliate with a GTU-member school and then take a specific
number of courses outside that school in a concentration area.
The degree provides --
1) an opportunity to explore and enrich assumptions about theological and
ethical issues inherent in life and work;
2) an academic structure for personal, sustained inquiry into theological issues
and concerns; and
3) a high level of competence in a specific area of study, preparing students
for further study at the doctoral level.

Description:
In fall 2003, Starr King will add a third master's degree -- the Master of Arts
in Religious Leadership for Social Change (M.A.S.C.). This two-year program will
integrate theological study, spiritual practice and professional development.
The MASC will also direct the student toward intellectual exploration and
practical competence in these eight threshold areas:
- Life in Religious Community and Interfaith Engagement
- Prophetic Witness and Work
- History of Dissenting Traditions and the Theological Quest
- Spiritual Practice and Care of the Soul
- Rheology in Culture and Context
- Educating for Wholeness and Liberation
- Sacred Texts and Interpretation
- Embodied Wisdom and Beauty
Each student's area of study is individually designed and includes an area of
concentration to advance expertise in a specific social issue. Fieldwork in the
community, guided by Starr King faculty and mentored by seasoned progressive
religious activists, is integral to the educational process.
Degree(s):
M.A. - Religious Leadership for Social Change
