or skills you can use across a wide range of vocations.

Whether you feel called to care and counsel, public service,

prophetic arts, or non-profit management, there's a program at Garrett's Seminary that's right for you.

Their global faculty and diverse student body nurture class discussions that reflect the contextual

realities in the communities you'll serve and their commitment to hands-on learning

means you'll have plenty of opportunities to put that knowledge to use.

Located in the heart of Northwestern's campus, a short train ride from Chicago, let their city be

your training ground.
