Asia Project

Welcome to the Asia Project at the Graduate Theological Union (GTU)

Located on the western edge of the Pacific Rim, the GTU vibrantly represents the intersection of Asian and Asian American cultures and faith traditions with an unparalleled concentration of Asian, Asian-American, and Oceanic faculty.  We look toward Asia and Oceania for academic and institutional partners, and we have a solid network of more than 170 alumni/ae working throughout Asia.
