Kenrick-Glennon Seminary was established in 1818. It is a private institution situated in St.Louis, Missouri. The Kenrick School of Theology is the graduate division of the Seminary. The School offers programs such as the Master of Divinity/Ordination and the Master of Arts in Theology. These programs deal with areas of human and spiritual formation, intellectual and cultural formation, and pastoral and practical formation. The school also offers pre-theology programs for men who lack the philosophy and theology background necessary for graduate level theological studies.
