Seminary advice for those who want to stay in academia?

I graduated recently from college and am on staff with a campus ministry. My interest is in studying the relationships of Christianity, church and culture. I want to go to a seminary first (probably for an M. Div) and then go on for a Ph.D. at a top tier secular graduate school or seminary (i.e. Princeton, Yale, etc). So my question is, where should I go to seminary now? I'm looking for:

1. Generally faithful to God's word and the reformed tradition, though I don't mind some challenging beliefs.
2. Good in training for academia and research (most seminaries seem to be completely focused on training pastors and missionaries).
3. A good enough reputation that I could go to on a to top tier graduate school.

Suggestions?
