Library services

The Flora Lamson Hewlett Library in Berkeley, together with our branch library at San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo, offer a rich array of programs, services, and resources to support the study and research needs of the more than 20 member schools, academic centers, and affiliates that comprise the GTU.

Campus life

There is always something happening at the GTU. Lectures, symposia, workshops, celebrations, art exhibits, prayer, writing groups, community conversations, all bringing diverse and creative voices to engage in new levels of understanding and collaboration. Each of us can find a way to engage and contribute in our own way.

Student clubs

GTU students range in age from mid-twenties to early seventies, and have families and/or obligations within their communities, donominations, and/or professional networks. Not all live in Berkeley, and many find it necessary to work to support their studies. Community is something that is built intentionally by committed individuals. Student community provides an avenue for sharing resources and experiences, learning about faculty, making a difference.

Accreditation

The GTU is fully accredited by the Association of Theological Schools and the WASC Senior College and University Commission.

Adequate labs on small campus

Overall, it's a decent university with all the necessary facilities. The faculty is very good, and while the campus is small, it doesn't feel that way after a while. Some of the labs may seem a bit small or slightly outdated, but they are good enough for graduation-level studies.
