Member Schools

Established in 2007, the HTI consortium is a unique collaborative enterprise in theological and religious education whereby 23 PhD-granting institutions have made a commitment to increase the recruitment, retention, and graduation rates of PhD students for leadership positions in the academy, the church, and the world who will strengthen Latine churches and communities. HTI Member Schools demonstrate their commitment by uniting and leveraging resources (human, financial, and infrastructural) and exchanging information and ideas to create the best practices in addressing the needs of faculty and students committed to strengthening Latine churches and communities.  With their support, HTI is now serving the largest cohort of PhD students who demonstrate such commitment and continues to graduate students at an average time to degree of 5.5 years, while maintaining a graduation rate of 94%.  Additionally, the HTI consortium received the 2010 Examples of Excelencia award at the graduate level from Excelencia in Education!, catapulting the HTI model into the broader landscape of education in the United States. Over the past 17 years, the consortium model has leveraged funding from the Lilly Endowment Inc., the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Henry Luce Foundation, and Trinity Wall Street. This collective support has advanced and expanded programming for Master’s, PhD, and graduate students. Learn how to become a member of the HTI Consortium here.
