A five-member research team studied seminary presidents and their senior teams for four years to identify the ingredients of leadership that creates stable, forward-looking theological institutions. The study included surveys and site visits.

The Center for the Study of Theological Education (CSTE) provides reliable information and perspectives on theological education in North America. It conducts a "cycle of surveys" that revisits segments of theological education--students, graduates, faculty, administrators, trustees, and seminary finances--regularly, in order to track trends over time. CSTE also studies special topics, such as student debt, doctoral education in theology and religion, and the culture of theological schools. Research results are available as issues of the occasional bulletin Auburn Studiesor as special background reports. All reports are available on this site in PDF format.
