Perkins School of Theology is one of Southern Methodist University's three original schools and is located in Dallas, Texas. The theology school was renamed in 1945 to honor benefactors Joe J. and Lois Craddock Perkins of Wichita Falls, Texas. It offers master's degrees in divinity, theological studies, church ministries, sacred music, and religious studies, and doctoral degrees in ministry and religious studies. It is one of five university-related theological institutions of The United Methodist Church, offering opportunities for interdisciplinary learning, and accredited by the Association of Theological Schools (ATS).
