Founded by conservatives in the Southern Presbyterian Church, the Presbyterian Church in the United States in 1966, it serves primarily students from more conservative branches of the Presbyterian and Reformed tradition. FoundingIn 1966, conservatives from the Southern Presbyterian Church, the Presbyterian Church in the United States, concerned about the increasing influence of liberalism and neo-orthodoxy in the denomination's seminaries and pulpits, established Reformed Theological Seminary, independent from the PCUS, along "Old School" Presbyterian lines, to educate ministers.[1] RTS has largely served the Presbyterian Church in America since that denomination's founding in 1973, then later the Evangelical Presbyterian Church and the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church and in more recent years serves a large population of students from Reformed Baptist and Independent churches. LeadershipRTS is governed by a Board of Trustees exercising oversight through its administration. RTS is led by its Executive Committee, the Chancellor of the RTS system and through the respective campus presidents.[2] Ligon Duncan is Chancellor and CEO.[3] AcademicsRTS maintains an institutional belief in the inerrancy of the Bible and follows the Reformed tradition, including Covenant Theology.[4] Programs of studyRTS's institutional focus is on training students (especially in its Presbyterian and Reformed branches) to be pastors, missionaries, educators, and Christian counselors. RTS offers Doctor of Ministry, Master of Divinity, and Master of Arts degrees in several subjects.[5] Through its Global program, RTS offers a Master of Arts - Religion (MAR) degree, Master of Arts - Biblical studies degree (MABS), and a Master of Arts - Theological Studies (MATS).[6] The degrees can be earned completely online. RTS, including its global campus, is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada[7] and by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.[8] RTS also provides course recordings on iTunes U free of charge.[9] FacultyRTS has had many notable faculty over the years. R.C. Sproul, John Frame, Roger Nicole, Ronald H. Nash, Steve Brown, Douglas F. Kelly, Richard L. Pratt, Jr., Michael J. Kruger, Bruce Waltke, and Willem A. VanGemeren. In April 2010, Bruce Waltke offered to resign his professorship at Reformed Theological Seminary because of controversy over a video made by The BioLogos Foundation where he discussed his positive views on evolution.[10][11] Waltke wrote in a letter that he finds no fault with the administration of RTS on the matter.[12] CampusesRTS has campus locations in Jackson, Mississippi; Orlando, Florida; Charlotte, North Carolina; Atlanta, Georgia; Washington, D.C.; as well as its Global Campus.[13] RTS also has extension sites in Memphis, Tennessee, New York City and Houston, Texas.[14] RTS's Washington, D.C. campus is a member of the Washington Theological Consortium.[15] RTS's global campus traces its origins to the Orlando campus, from which distance education was first offered for RTS students in the early 1990s.[16] In 1998, the Global campus official launched as a separate "campus".[16] The global campus eventually became the first online seminary to offer accredited degrees.
