If you are considering a doctoral or master of arts program, you may want to visit the GTU to explore our academic community. With a bit of planning, a visit to the GTU is easily arranged. The following are a few suggestions to assist you in this process:

1. Allow sufficient time (at least two weeks) to work with the Admissions Office Visit Coordinator to set up appointments that will be most helpful for you. The best time to meet students and faculty is during the school year, September through May. While every visit is unique, tailored to fit the informational needs of the visitor, a visit to the GTU typically includes some of the following elements:
   • meeting(s) with faculty
   • meeting(s) with a student
   • attending a class
   • meeting with Admissions staff
   • meeting with Financial Aid staff
   • touring the GTU
   • touring a specific member seminary or affiliated center or institute
     
     
2. When you have a sense for the types of resources you wish to explore during your stay, and have a date tentatively established e-mail gtuvisits@gtu.edu, or call 510/649-2460 or 800/826-4488 to speak with a Visit Coordinator.

If you are interested in a Master of Divinity degree, please contact the member seminary that best matches your denominational affiliation.
