The University of Chicago Divinity School has long been at the forefront of shaping the fields of spiritual care and chaplaincy, drawing on decades of scholarship ranging from foundational research on death and dying to pioneering work at the intersection of religion and the human sciences.

The Chaplaincy Certificate builds on this legacy, offering an interdisciplinary pathway for students to engage critically and constructively with the theory and practice of spiritual care. Situated within a major research university, the program provides a rich intellectual environment in which students can integrate insights from across disciplines as they prepare for chaplaincy in a wide range of institutional settings.
