Union Theological Seminary

Union Theological Seminary is a religious graduate school in Upper Manhattan located in several buildings at the corner of Broadway and 121st Street. The compound includes lecture halls, libraries, dormitories and spaces for research and study.

The institution was founded in 1836 in Manhattan and later moved to its current location near Columbia University. Since its founding, the school has trained several important theologians and religious scholars.

The name refers to the union of different Protestant denominations in the 19th century. Students from several faith traditions live and work together here, making the campus a place of exchange between different religious perspectives.

The library is open to students and visitors and offers access to a large collection of theological texts. The campus sits at the corner of Broadway and 121st Street, within walking distance from the 116th Street subway station.

The school introduced a protection policy against caste discrimination, which is new for theological education institutions in North America. This policy expands the usual anti-discrimination guidelines to include a social dimension rarely addressed by Western universities.
