Classes

Yale Divinity School, together with Berkeley Divinity School, will offer a variety of continuing education courses during Summer Term 2008 in subject areas ranging from worship to history to biblical scholarship.

In keeping with its interdisciplinary mission, the Yale Institute of Sacred Music will offer Summer Term courses reflecting the Institute's commitment to the study of liturgics, as well as to integration of music and all the arts into the spiritual life of faith communities.

Most Summer Term classes meet Monday through Friday of each week, in the morning or in the afternoon.  Check-in for all courses begins at 8:00 a.m. on the first day of class at SDQ.

Designed for both clergy and laity, Summer Term courses do not carry academic credit but are available for denominational continuing education credit.

Distinct from Summer Term, language courses earning six hours of academic credit will be offered May 27-July 9 in elementary biblical Hebrew, elementary New Testament Greek, and ecclesiastical Latin.

Current Yale students may register at the discounted rate of $75 for any Summer Term course.
