What makes WSC a unique place to receive graduate theological education?
A united faculty comprised of pastor-scholars providing the best in theological education to a diverse student body, face to face, in an amazing location.

A UNITED FACULTY
  • The faculty subscribe to the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Three Forms of Unity and thus are remarkably unified in their understanding of Scripture and ministry

COMPRISED OF PASTOR-SCHOLARS

  • Our full-time faculty consists primarily of ordained ministers in Presbyterian or Reformed denominations who hold earned doctorate degrees from respected universities in their particular fields of study
  • Our professors are active in congregational ministry, which maximizes the value and relevance of our education and preparation of future pastors and church leaders

PROVIDING THE BEST IN THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION

  • Our rigorous theological education focuses on the study of the Scriptures in their original languages, Hebrew and Greek, within the context of our confessional Protestant faith
  • We pursue this study while in dialogue with the catholic (i.e. universal) tradition, leading pastors and scholars of today and throughout history

TO A DIVERSE STUDENT BODY

  • Our diverse student body is made of students from across the United States and several foreign countries
  • WSC’s multi-denominational student body, representing over 30 denominations and church groups, ensures an atmosphere of challenging and stimulating discussions about theology and ministry

FACE TO FACE

  • Our established faculty to student ratio is 1:12, enabling students to receive a substantial amount of face to face time with faculty members in and out of the classroom
  • The low faculty to student ratio ensures that students are able to develop formative relationships with faculty—a crucial element to the practical and pastoral aspects of theological education

IN AN AMAZING LOCATION

  • Our beautiful ten-acre campus in suburban San Diego County provides a great setting to study in community with other believers
