About

Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York is a premier, progressive institution world-renowned for its historic commitment to social justice, offering highly regarded Master of Divinity (M.Div.) and Master of Arts (M.A.) programs that pioneer fields like Black liberation, womanist, and eco-theology. The student experience is defined by an intellectually rigorous and activist-oriented campus culture where a diverse, interreligious student body prepares to address systemic global inequities through faith and community organizing. A key distinguishing feature of Union is its close partnership with neighboring Columbia University, which grants students the unique ability to cross-register for Ivy League classes and access extensive university resources while living and studying on Union’s historic, cloistered Manhattan campus.
