History
Woodstock College was originally located along the Patapsco River in Woodstock, Maryland, west of Baltimore. It opened on September 22, 1869.
In the 1960s, the college began considering affiliating with an urban university.
As a result of decreasing candidates to the priesthood, the college closed its original campus and moved to New York City, New York in 1969 where it operated in cooperation with the Union Theological Seminary and the Jewish Theological Seminary. The number of students continued to decline, however, and the school closed in 1974.
It is survived by the Woodstock Theological Center, an independent, nonprofit Catholic research institute located at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
