The Graduate Theological Union (GTU) was founded in 1962. The establishment marked the nation’s first successful cooperative graduate study program leading to a Doctor of Theology degree.
Initially, five Protestant seminaries joined together to form the Union.
The members included Berkeley Baptist Divinity School (now American Baptist Seminary of the West), Church Divinity School of the Pacific (Episcopal), Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, and San Francisco Theological Seminary (Presbyterian), all of which remain part of the GTU consortium. The fifth school, Golden Gate Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, did not remain a part of GTU.
In 1964, Pacific School of Religion (inter-denominational) and Starr King School for the Ministry (Unitarian Universalist) joined GTU.
That same year the first Catholic seminary joined the consortium: St. Albert's College (now Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology).
In 1966, Alma College relocated from Los Gatos and became the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. Two years later, the Franciscan School of Theology moved from Mission Santa Barbara to Berkeley to join the GTU and remained until 2014, when the Franciscan School relocated to Southern California.
