THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO

Founded in 1890 by John D. Rockefeller, the University of Chicago is a private, coeducational institution located on the South Side of Chicago. Under the leadership of its first president, William Rainey Harper, the University introduced innovations that are now considered commonplace in American colleges and universities: the four-quarter system, extension courses and programs in the liberal arts for adults, the junior college concept, equal opportunities for women in education, and an emphasis on broad humanistic studies for undergraduates... The Divinity School offers four degree programs-the Master of Arts in Religious Studies (AMRS), the Master of Arts in Divinity (MA), the Master of Divinity (MDiv), and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D)... The Divinity School is accredited by the Commission on Accrediting of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada. All degree programs are approved.
