The academic disciplines represented by a diverse range of faculty, combined with multi-denominational and interfaith cooperation, provide a rich environment for developing one’s academic voice. Several CDSP faculty are among the core faculty of the GTU.
Candidates for the Ph.D. may affiliate with CDSP, and walk in the CDSP as well as the GTU commencements.
