Theological Seminaries & Divinity Schools

Although associated with specific denominations, many theological seminaries and divinity schools are ecumenical--meaning they promote Christian unity. They are attended by women and men entering into Christian careers, which include ordained ministers, church leaders and teachers and academics at theology schools. Some theological seminaries and divinity schools offer joint degree programs for students interested in professional careers including counseling, law and medicine with a Christian perspective.
