This track is the starting point for a career, or a catalyst for a career change. It can reinvigorate your current professional trajectory. Or it can add spark to a well-traveled life. In other words, the Interdisciplinary track has a fluid quality. Potential areas of focus tell the stories of past students: activism, African-American religious studies, community organizing, political theology, ecology and spirituality, engaged compassion, non-profit management, sexuality, gender and religion. Now it’s time to add your own ideas to this inventory of thought, interest and action. You can build a foundation in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament in context, study world Christianity, systematic theology and Christian ethics, and do formational work in spiritual practice. And then, with guidance from your academic advisor, create the direction, focus and next step in your future.
