A
Message from the President
 One
of the most distinctive features of the University of Dubuque Theological
Seminary is our commitment to being centered in the Gospel of Jesus
Christ and our desire to serve in various ministries in the Church.
Throughout these pages you will discover a great deal about our
history, faculty, programs, and facilities. You will discover that
our curriculum grounds students in the Scriptures, tradition,
and ministerial practices of the church. What you will not find
unless you visit our campus, however, is the powerful way that
this community exists as a community of faith... "Grounded in Tradition;
Growing in Christ."
Should you feel called to the University
of Dubuque Seminary for your theological education, there are several
facts that you should know. First, a great majority of our graduates are placed within six months of graduation. Second, our graduates
have an outstanding record of success in pastoral ministry. Third,
if you are a Presbyterian student, you should know that our senior
students have consistently high pass rates on the Standardized
Ordination Exams. Fourth, our unique blend of students from Presbyterian,
United Methodist, Congregational, Disciples, and other denominations
offers a unique opportunity to acquire the skills to practice ministry
in an ecumenical community. Fifth, we are the only seminary of
the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) that is part of a University.
Finally, if you are a second-career student and if you have a family,
it will be important for you to know that your family will live
in a community where, literally, your children will walk to school
and enjoy the supportive friendship and fellowship of many other
second-career families.
This is just a sample of who we are as
the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. I hope you take
the opportunity to get to know us better through a campus visit,
a telephone conversation, or an "extended" stay on our campus!
Cordially,
Jeffrey Bullock
