Princeton Theological Seminary

Princeton Theological Seminary (PTS) is a seminary in Princeton, New Jersey associated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The seminary is one of the world's preeminent and most influential seminaries, with a number of leading theologians and biblical scholars being alumni of the school. It is also home to the largest theological library in the United States. It currently has 500 students and a faculty of 56.

The roots of Princeton Seminary are in Presbyterianism, and the denomination continues to provide the school its identity. Around 40% of its students are candidates for the ministry in the Presbyterian Church; many are candidates for ministry in other denominations, while others are studying toward careers in academia, and still others are pursuing fields less directly related to theology, such as law, medicine, social work, administration and education.
