We are currently unable to offer campus visits due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we are continuing to offer our monthly online Open House. It’s free to attend and attendance waives the $65 application fee. Click here for more information.
Although we cannot gather in person, online classes and virtual education is not new to Starr King. All Summer and Fall courses will be offered as either online or hybrid formats. Email our Admissions Team at admissions@sksm.edu to set up a one-on-one meeting.
We would love to have you visit Starr King School for the Ministry in beautiful Berkeley, California. Please visit the Request Info page to request a Campus Visit or Admissions Counseling appointment. We are located in the “Holy Hill” neighborhood of Graduate Theological Union schools, just steps from the University of California, Berkeley. You may also email us at admissions@sksm.edu for more information.
For the full immersion into the spiritual, academic, and community life of the school, we recommend visiting when school is in session. Generally, a Tuesday is the best day to visit as that day allows you to explore the many facets of Starr King School for the Ministry.
