St Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary

St. Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary, located in rural Northeastern Pennsylvania, has trained hundreds of Orthodox Christian priests since its founding in 1938. Even before the seminary's formal organization, future priests came to this place, originally founded in 1905 by St. Tikhon of Moscow as a monastery and orphanage, in order to learn the divine services, receive spiritual instruction, and prepare for pastoral ministry. Today, the monastery and seminary work together to train the next generation of Orthodox Christian leaders in churches throughout North America and beyond.

The primary emphasis of the Seminary academic program is on graduate theological and professional training leading to conferral of the Master of Divinity (M. Div.) degree in Orthodox Theology. It has always been the policy of St. Tikhon's Seminary, however, to also provide theological training to those who have not yet completed their college education. The advantages of taking Postsecondary courses at the Seminary prior to completing undergraduate studies are numerous and deserve emphasis: with an ambiguous societal morality and unbelief as widespread as they are in today's world, it is vitally important for the young Orthodox Christian to learn the Church's view of life first, in order to be better prepared to confront the challenge of competing philosophies and world views on the college campus, and thus bear a fuller and more effective Christian witness. Possessing the highest standard of truth, the student can extract the greatest benefit from later college level work. This open-door policy is maintained with no reduction in the quality of essential religious training. Numerous graduates of St. Tikhon's Seminary without prior bachelor degrees have successfully transferred into college programs of their choice.
