Claremont School of Theology is a mid-sized higher education institution offering graduate-level theological education and related scholarly programs. Rooted in its United Methodist origins, CST presents itself as progressive, inclusive, and interreligious while maintaining academic rigor. The school is based in Claremont, California, with a history dating to 1885 and a move from the San Fernando Valley to Claremont in 1957; it has pursued cross-institutional collaborations, including an affiliation with Willamette University since 2019. In recent years, CST has expanded its interfaith and international activities through partnerships such as a 2026 agreement with Bayan Islamic Graduate School. It has also launched or expanded programs, including a Modern Gujarati graduate seminar developed with Arihanta Institute for Fall 2025 and a Summer Intensive for the Korean Doctor of Ministry in Practical Theology. These efforts reflect its focus on preparing clergy, researchers, and scholars for work across diverse religious and cultural contexts.
