Institutional Effectiveness

Pittsburgh Theological Seminary is committed to providing high-quality educational programs. The mission of the Seminary centers on forming and equipping people to serve the church in a broad variety of ministry and community situations, both traditional and emerging. In order to ensure we are achieving our mission, we regularly assess our programs and the Seminary in general to determine student achievement and educational effectiveness. We measure and report on quality and effectiveness in four areas. These can be explored by following the links below.
