Such schools may be completely defined and monitored by a host church body, as is St. Mary of the Lake, the Roman Catholic archdiocesan school, or by a cluster of agencies within a body, such as the Catholic Theological Union in Hyde Park, supported by a number of religious orders.
The schools may be denominationally associated but connected with a university, as Garrett-Evangelical is with Northwestern University, or may be located near a university, drawing on and contributing to its resources, as the schools in the Hyde Park Cluster of Theological Schools are around the University of Chicago.
Schools also may be integrated into university life and have little independent existence or relation to denominations, such as the University of Chicago Divinity School.

 Harvard Divinity School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The School's purpose is to train graduate students—either in the academic study of religion, or in the practice of a religious ministry.
Harvard Divinity School is one of five university-based, non-denominational divinity schools in the United States (the other four being at the University of Chicago, Vanderbilt University, Wake Forest University and Yale Divinity School).
The separate institution of the Divinity School, however, dates from 1816, when it was established as the first non-denominational divinity school in the United States (Princeton Theological Seminary, the nation's oldest graduate school of theology, having been founded as a Presbyterian institution in 1812).

 Chicago at 100 -- Friday, Mar. 25, 1966 -- Page 1 -- TIME   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
This year Chicago's Divinity School, older than the university because it dates from the seminary's founding, celebrates its 100th anniversary-respected everywhere for dynamism, innovation and influence.
In the free environment of the new University of Chicago, the Divinity School quickly lost its denominational character, became committed to the then jarring notion that Christianity is a historical religion that can find its full meaning only within a total concept of human culture.
Today Chicago's student enrollment of 375 is an ecumenical admixture of Protestants (including 55 Methodists, 54 Lutherans, 40 Baptists, 31 Presbyterians, 25 Episcopalians) seasoned with 17 Roman Catholics, four Jews and a solitary Buddhist.

 Scientist of Symbols -- Friday, Feb. 11, 1966 -- Page 1 -- TIME   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
To Professor Mircea Eliade of the University of Chicago divinity school, the fakir's fakery is the vestige of an ancient religious rite with highly symbolic overtones: the rope is an image of the "astral cord," symbolizing the link between earth and sky, man and heaven.
Originally, the trick was intended to prove to spectators the existence of an unknown and mysterious world; by climbing the rope and then temporarily disappearing, the conjurer revealed the possibility of man's transcending this world for the "real" but hidden world of the sacred.
Little known outside university circles, Eliade has had a profound influence on a number of younger theologians—notably Emory's Thomas J. Altizer, one of the leading "death of God" thinkers.
