Program in Liturgical Studies

Mission

The program offers a basic education in historical, theoretical, and practical aspects of liturgical studies. Thus it pertains both to the training of concentrators in the field who are preparing for Ph.D. programs in religious studies and liturgics, as well as to the education of those with vocations to the churches: musicians and ministers. A substantial number of electives supplement the core course of study, ensuring that students may gain a broad understanding of liturgy and approaches to its study and encounter a variety of traditions. The faculty stress connections with biblical study, church history, and with the practice of sacred music and other religious art forms. Detailed information about the degrees and requirements of Yale Divinity School can be found in the bulletin of the Divinity School.

In addition, a liturgical studies major enrolling in the Institute of Sacred Music will elect the ISM Colloquium each term.

Beginning in 2010-2011, the Institute will sponsor two postdoctoral fellowships in liturgical studies awarded for one academic year.
