Institutional Relationships

The University of Dubuque Theological Seminary is one of ten theological institutions of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). It enjoys a close consortium relationship with Wartburg Theological Seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and is a member of the Native American Theological Education Consortium.

The seminary, while providing training for diverse ministries, emphasizes the local church as the central arena for mission and ministry in service to Christ. Deeply grounded as a Presbyterian seminary, UDTS also serves students from a variety of other denominations. The seminary is primarily informed by the Reformed tradition, but welcomes and engages the riches of theology and ministry of the various communions of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church.
