Chicago Theological Seminary Moves On | Chicago News

After 11 years at its 60th Street campus, the Chicago Theological Seminary is packing up — a move born of financial strain and strategic realignment. Facing annual losses over $1 million and halting new student admissions, the 171-year-old progressive seminary, known for alumni like Reverend Jesse Jackson, will ensure current students finish their degrees, many already offered online. The University of Chicago, which bought the campus in 2008, will reclaim the building by September, repurposing it for its economics department. The seminary’s departure marks the end of an era, but its legacy — rooted in social justice and theological innovation — lives on.
