Princeton Theological Seminary (PTS) is a school of theology, or divinity, in Princeton, New Jersey, and the largest of ten seminaries associated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). It is the second-oldest seminary in the United States, founded in 1812 under the auspices of Reverend Dr. Archibald Alexander, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, and the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University).
Princeton Seminary has long been influential in theological scholarship, with leading and preeminent biblical scholars and theologians among its faculty and alumni. Its library's collections are well-known, in particular, the Karl Barth Research Collection in the Center for Barth Studies.
Today, the seminary enrolls approximately 500 students. While around 40% of them are candidates for ministry in the Presbyterian Church, the majority are either candidates for ministry in other denominations or pursuing careers in academia or non-theological fields. Seminarians hold academic reciprocity with Princeton University as well as the Westminster Choir College of Rider University, New Brunswick Theological Seminary, Jewish Theological Seminary, and the School of Social Work at Rutgers University. The institution also has an ongoing relationship with the Center of Theological Inquiry.
