Our Partnerships
We link the resources of two extraordinary professional schools, the Yale School of Music and the Yale Divinity School. ISM students receive degrees in one or the other of these schools, and, if they elect to do so, joint degrees from both. The certificate additionally received from the Institute signifies that students have gained more than the training either school alone can offer. Students acquire a sense of the partnership between churches, and a working knowledge of the changing synthesis of music, text, ceremony, and liturgical space, which has taken place in the assemblies of all faiths and denominations since their beginnings. Decades later, the Institute occupies its present position because so many people understood the importance of a shared process of formation for ministers and musicians.
