University courses at Virginia Theological Seminary

Virginia Theological Seminary is a seminary of the Episcopal Church accredited by the Association of Theological Schools. It seeks to further the universal mission of Christ's church by providing graduate theological education and serving as a theological resource for the Anglican Communion and the wider church.

The Seminary's primary mission is to form men and women for lay or ordained leadership and service in the ministry of the church. Out of its evangelical heritage and its missionary tradition, it emphasizes the life of prayer, worship and community, the ministries of preaching, teaching, pastoral care and social justice. It seeks to prepare its students as servants of Jesus Christ to equip the people of God for their vocation and ministry in the world. It also provides continuing theological education for clergy and laity of all denominations.

This seminary believes that theological education leading to ordination normally requires full time study and full participation in its common life and worship. It also believes that theological education is greatly enhanced when it is done within an ecumenical, international and cross-cultural context.
