Joint Degree Programs

Back to Academics

Yale Divinity School encourages students to enroll in joint degree programs that lead to the granting of more than one degree.  Keep in mind admission to the school must be obtained through the normal admissions process established by each school.  In most cases, the period of study required to complete two degrees is less (usually by one year) than would be required to complete those degrees if they were pursued independently.

Aside from the joint degree programs listed below, certification for secondary-school teaching in a variety of subjects is available for a limited number of Divinity students through Yale College's Teacher Preparation Program.
