Events for Prospective StudentsDiversity and Explorations Program | Theological Education Day | Welcome to Admitted Students Diversity and Explorations Program: Exploring Opportunities in Ministry and Graduate Theological StudiesFall 2010 Institutions and organizations may contact admissions@hds.harvard.edu to be added to our mailing list for our 2010 program. What Is "Diversity and Explorations"? Harvard Divinity School's Diversity and Explorations Program is an initiative intended to interest students underrepresented in the graduate study of religion, with a particular focus on African American, Latino/a, Asian American, and Native American students. The program invites applications from talented undergraduates whose background and experiences suggest a commitment to diversity and social justice issues as well as an interest in ministry, scholarship, or professional careers that are well served by the study of religion, theology, or ethics. Who Can Participate?
Application Selection
for the program is competitive. Applicants submit a program application;
personal statement describing interest in the program; letter
of nomination from a professor, career mentor, or faith-based leader;
résumé; and academic transcripts. Program Information During the program, participants explore opportunities in graduate theological education, including admissions, financial aid, and future career plans. HDS faculty, staff, and departments hold open office hours. Program participants have an opportunity to sit in on classes, attend panels and workshops, and meet current students, faculty, staff, and alumni during meals and community events. Travel, Lodging, and Meals Past participants have been provided lodging and meals, with some travel grants available. Travel grants are decided during the selection process by the committee based on the numbers of participants selected for the program and the funding available. Additional Information Please note that attendance at the Diversity and Explorations Program does not guarantee admission to Harvard Divinity School. However, participants who are seriously considering applying to a degree program at HDS should contact the Office of Admissions to discuss the admissions process and the suitability of the program to the student's future career and educational goals. Not being selected for the Diversity and Explorations Program does not adversely affect future application for admission to any HDS program.
