The Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University is a graduate theological school affiliated with Santa Clara University, located in Berkeley, California. It offers a range of full- and part-time degree programs and operates as an Ecclesiastical Faculty of Theology within the Graduate Theological Union and near the University of California, Berkeley. Guided by the Jesuit intellectual tradition and its emphasis on service that enacts justice, JST-SCU aims to form leaders who are competent, conscientious, and compassionate. The school focuses on forming Jesuits and other candidates for ministry—ordained and lay—to serve the Church as scholars and teachers, through its academic programs. It supports varied forms of ministry, advances theology in dialogue with the academy, church, and society, and emphasizes engagement with cultures in a pluralistic world, including ministry with Latino communities and a commitment to mutuality between women and men in church and society. As part of Santa Clara University’s Jesuit educational mission, JST-SCU operates within the ecumenical and interfaith context of the Graduate Theological Union and the adjacent University of California, Berkeley.
