The Division of Religious and Theological Studies (DRTS) is Boston University's home for academic graduate study of religion and theology. The faculty of the Division come primarily from BU’s Department of Religion and its School of Theology, though affiliated faculty come from departments across Boston University. The DRTS provides a framework for students to engage in advanced study of various religious traditions and phenomena, and to acquire skills in the requisite academic disciplines both in the humanities (English, philosophy, religion, theology) and social sciences (anthropology, history, psychology, and sociology). While diverse in their approaches, methods, and fields of expertise, faculty in the Division are united in their dedication to the highest academic standards and the freedom of inquiry.
