Concentration - Princeton Theological Seminary
placeholder

The Center for Theology, Women, and Gender offers a concentration for master’s students at Princeton Theological Seminary that allows students to focus their academic work on issues pertaining to theology and gender. This concentration prepares students for vocational ministry or scholarly pursuits by a) valuing the unique contributions of women and sexual minorities to the life of the church and Christian faith, and b) by exploring critically the ways that gender and sexualities are understood and represented in church and society. The requirements for the concentration involve earning nine (9) credits from approved courses. One course (or a maximum of three credits) may be taken at Princeton University in order to fulfill the concentration requirements, subject to the approval of the associate dean for academic administration.

Director: Dr. Rose Ellen Dunn
