Academic Life

ISM students and fellows are immersed in a vibrant interdisciplinary environment that fosters a collaborative learning experience. 

Academic Life and Degree Programs 

ISM students meet our faculty in the classroom, studio, rehearsal hall, and worship spaces and participate in over 100 concerts, recitals, conferences, lectures, exhibits, films, and special events each year. The ISM collaborates with Yale collections, departments, and centers throughout the year and is an active partner in the worship life of Yale’s many chapels.

  • Divinity Degrees and Programs

    ISM students in the Divinity School study sacred music, worship, and the arts within a broadly ecumenical and multi-disciplinary environment.

  • Music Degrees and Programs

    The ISM and Yale School of Music prepare students for careers in choral conducting, organ, and voice in churches, the academy, and the concert stage.

  • Study Tours

    A capstone experience of ISM student life, these tours provide a rich immersion in the history and culture of the nations visited.
