Andover Newton Seminary at Yale Divinity School is a small higher-education institution that educates leaders for faith communities rooted in Christian faith while remaining open to contemporary expressions of the Gospel. It traces its lineage to the 1807 founding of Andover Theological Seminary and, after joining Newton Theological Institution in 1965, relocated to New Haven in 2017 to affiliate with Yale Divinity School. Within Yale Divinity School, it operates as a distinct unit that emphasizes leadership education for locally governed faith communities and welcomes diverse approaches to ministry, supported by covenant partnerships with the American Baptist Churches USA and the United Church of Christ. Its program aligns with the Yale Divinity School Master of Divinity, and graduates receive Andover Newton diplomas in addition to their Yale degrees. The institution supports intellectual and spiritual development for ministry students and promotes leadership-focused education within the theological academy. It is based in Newton Center, Massachusetts.
