List of Eastern Orthodox universities and colleges in the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are several Eastern Orthodox colleges and universities in the United States. There are also a number of distance education programs affiliated with Eastern Orthodox churches in North America, and blended residency and online certification programs in theology or ministry.

Orthodox education has existed in North America since Russian colonization of Alaska in the late 18th Century, but has only existed in the United States since the early 20th Century.[1]

Accreditation

[edit]

Accreditation of Orthodox institutes of higher learning in the United States is not uniform. Saint Herman's Orthodox Seminary of Alaska lost its accreditation as an institution of higher education in the 1990s, and now works under state authorization as an exempted religious institution.[2]
