About

Princeton Theological Seminary, the oldest and largest seminary associated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), is globally renowned for its rigorous academic preparation of Christian leaders through premier programs like the Master of Divinity (M.Div.) and Master of Theological Studies (MTS). The close-knit campus culture is defined by a deeply hospitable, ecumenical community where students from diverse denominations engage in daily chapel worship, vibrant intellectual discourse, and local social action. Distinctively, students benefit from unparalleled research resources, including the Wright Library—which houses one of the largest theological collections in the world—as well as the unique opportunity to cross-register for classes at neighboring Princeton University.
