About Fuller Theological Seminary

Set in Pasadena's tree-lined core, Fuller Theological Seminary is known for rigorous study that bridges theology, counseling, leadership, and global engagement. Classes lean into careful reading, thoughtful discussion, and practice in real settings. The campus centers on a well-used library, chapel space, quiet courtyards, and study spots, with advising, writing support, wellness resources, and spiritual care close at hand.

Student life leans reflective yet lively: regular chapel rhythms, small groups, film and faith talks, service with local nonprofits, and plenty of coffee-fueled conversations. The culture is ecumenical, with many traditions in the room. Career preparation runs through supervised placements, internships, and a church and nonprofit network that opens doors. And Pasadena offers museums, trailheads, and a creative scene nearby. Notable alumni include pastor and author Rick Warren.
