For information about the Medical Anthropology program, contact the Department of Anthropology. Graduate Theological Union There are two kinds of programs that include the faculties of the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) in Berkeley: the "casual program" and the joint Ph.D. programs. The casual program is open to all students in the GTU community and all graduate students at Berkeley. This program allows you to register on one campus and take courses on the other, subject to the appropriate academic approvals. You may obtain applications and deadlines from Graduate Services: Degrees, 318 Sproul Hall. The Joint Doctoral Program is offered in two areas and is open only to students who intend to work toward the Ph.D. degree. You must be admitted to both the Graduate Theological Union and the University, because the degrees are conferred jointly by both institutions.
