Chicago Theological Seminary is located
in Hyde Park, a neighborhood in
Chicago of 30,000 that is known for its
cultural and religious diversity, educational
excellence, creativity and social
activism. Hyde Park is also the home of
the University of Chicago, University of
Chicago Hospitals, the Museum of
Science and Industry, The DuSable
Museum of African-American History, a
total of five theological schools as well
as many historic religious institutions.
All of this is situated on the south
lakefront area of Chicago, the third
largest metropolis in the U.S., home to
three million people. Chicago is a
major center of higher education,
cultural expression and commerce.
Hyde Park and the Chicago metropolitan
area offer CTS students an opportunity
to study, practice and develop tools for
ministry in just about any real world
context. Our students often combine
classroom learning with work in church
communities, hospitals, street ministries
and in a variety of other non-profit
organizations.
When students need to nourish
themselves or play, they can choose to
delight their taste buds in restaurants
offering cuisine from every part of the
world; to bike along the city’s beautiful
lakefront parks; to be entertained by the
most imaginative theatre or to explore
the city via architectural tours. In
addition, museums, music, sporting
events and festivals of every flavor
abound.
