Experience Meadville Lombard's learning model firsthand

We welcome prospective students, students from other seminaries, Meadville Lombard alums, teaching pastors/mentors, and anyone seeking deeper theological understanding on the graduate level to take one or more of our classes!

Prospective Students

We know that choosing the best theological school for you is a major decision, so we welcome prospective students to join us in Chicago in August or January, during our Convocation and intensives week, to take a class and experience firsthand our distinctive Unitarian Universalist education.

  • Take either a fully online course or a course that integrates time on campus during intensives. Our Student Affairs & Admissions office can provide more information and recommendations on which of our master’s degree classes would be best for you. Open enrollment starts after our matriculated students register.
  • Credits completed as a student-at-large will count towards your degree program if you are accepted and matriculate to Meadville Lombard.
  • To start the process, complete the student at large application and pay the application fee. Should you decide to apply for admission to one of our graduate degree programs after taking a class, this application fee will be applied.

Prospective students can also take advantage of other ways to explore and experience Meadville Lombard:

  • Visit us: Schedule a visit to Meadville Lombard in Chicago.
  • Around the country: Our faculty and staff travel throughout the year to attend conferences and meetings around the country. Contact the Student Affairs & Admissions office at YouBelong@meadville.edu to see if one of us can meet you in your area.

Other Seminary Students

Meadville Lombard welcomes current students enrolled in Master's degree programs at other seminaries to join our learning community.

  • Experience learning from leaders in the Unitarian Universalist faith tradition.
  • For UU students at non-Unitarian Universalist seminaries: make connections with Meadville Lombard students who will be your peers throughout your ministerial career.

We urge you to contact us before Fall registration opens regardless of the intensives dates listed on the course offerings page.

To start the process, please complete and submit the student at large application at least a couple of weeks before the registration deadline. After we receive your student at large application, we will let you know whether space is available in that course, and if so, give you access to the course online. Open enrollment starts after our matriculated students register.

Alums and Internship Supervisors

Meadville Lombard alums may take courses for credit or audit them at a greatly reduced fee. Simply fill out the student at large application or contact us to learn more about how to register.

Current internship supervisors are entitled to audit one class each year. For more information, please contact the Senior Director of Contextual Ministry.
