Strategic Partnership
The Board of Trustees at New York Theological Seminary voted to form a strategic partnership with Union Theological Seminary and close NYTS at the end of the academic year 2023-2024. Effective July 1, 2024, NYTS will no longer operate as an independent seminary. We are excited that the mission and vision will live on through the “NYTS Institute for Urban Engagement” at Union Theological Seminary.
NYTS is still committed to doing everything possible to ensure that its students and alumni have access to important information moving forward. NYTS will provide transitional services to students through August 16, 2024, and classes will not resume in the Fall of 2024.
NYTS also has teach-out agreements with several Seminaries to provide program completion pathways to former NYTS students. Those agreements are available on the academic pathways page.

A Community Rooted in Theology
NYTS was founded in 1900 by Wilbert Webster White as the Bible Teacher’s Training College in Montclair. A gifted scholar and teacher, President White developed a curriculum that combined the study of the Bible in one’s own language with practical training for ministry.
