ACTS Cross-Registration
Cross-Registration Opportunities at Seabury
Seabury is a member of the Association of Chicago Theological Schools (ACTS) consortium. This consortium comprises all the major seminaries in the Chicago area:
- Catholic Theological Union (Roman Catholic)
- Chicago Theological Seminary (United Church of Christ)
- Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary (Methodist)
- Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago (Lutheran)
- McCormick Theological Seminary (Presbyterian)
- Meadville/Lombard Theological School (Unitarian/Universalist)
- Mundelein Seminary (Roman Catholic)
- North Park Theological Seminary (Evangelical Covenant)
- Northern Baptist Theological Seminary (Baptist)
- Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (Evangelical Free Church)
- Loyola Institute for Pastoral Care (Roman Catholic)
Students registered at any one of these schools may cross-register in classes at any other school in the consortium. There is no extra cost to students who can simply register through their own schools.
A unified course catalog incorporating all the listings of all the schools is published every year and is available online. Seabury encourages students to cross-register at one of the other schools at least once because we believe that it is a valuable and enriching experience. In the past year Seabury students have taken courses at other schools in Native American Spirituality, Muslim-Christian relations, Hispanic ministry, Urban Ministry, Bible, pastoral care, and a course from renowned feminist scholar Rosemary Radford Reuther.
The ACTS consortium offers students a valuable experience of dialogue with peers in other denominations, as well as specialized courses that may not be available at their own schools. Check out the consortium webpage and catalog here.
