Studying Psychology and Religion at Union Webinar

How do faith, psychology, and the human search for meaning come together in the work of healing? Join us for a virtual webinar highlighting the Psychology and Religion program at Union Theological Seminary, an area of study for people who want to accompany others with care, wisdom, and depth.

In this session, faculty, staff, and current students will walk you through what makes the program distinctive and how it prepares graduates for meaningful vocations. You’ll learn how students:

• Develop skills for pastoral and spiritual care that are appropriate to the many contexts and communities they serve
• Design and lead intentional rituals that help people mark transitions, grief, and growth
• Practice deep listening as a foundation for presence and care
• Accompany survivors of trauma as they move toward healing and wholeness
• Understand religious fundamentalism through both psychological and theological lenses

We’ll also cover the essentials of the application process, including requirements, deadlines, and tips for a strong application. You’ll hear about post-degree opportunities and where alumni have gone, from chaplaincy and spiritual care to counseling, ministry, advocacy, and further study.

The session will close with a live Q&A, so bring your questions about coursework, community life, admissions, or anything else on your mind.

Whether you’re discerning a call to ministry, exploring chaplaincy or care work, or simply curious about how psychology and religion meet, we hope you’ll join us for the Psychology and Religion at Union Webinar!
