College of New Rochelle, Theological Seminary Partner On Degree Program

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. -- Beginning this fall, The College of New Rochelle will expand its partnership with the New York Theological Seminary to provide clergy and religious leaders with the opportunity to earn both a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree through an accelerated program.

Students completing the program earn a bachelor’s degree from The College of New Rochelle and a master’s degree from New York Theological Seminary. A student with no prior advanced education who completes the Certificate in Christian Ministry at NYTS can transfer 18 credits toward a bachelor’s degree in the college’s School of New Resources for adult learners.

During the final semesters of their undergraduate education, students can complete nine credits at the master’s level, which can be applied to both their undergraduate and graduate programs.

“The CNR-NYTS partnership provides for a deep learning experience across the two institutions and takes advantage of the best each program has to offer. To encourage students to continue on their educational paths, credits transfer from one program to another,” explained Darryl Jones, dean of the School of New Resources.

The School of New Resources offers a Bachelor of Arts degree with a focus in either communications, foreign languages, letters (English literature, philosophy and religious studies), psychology or social sciences at its campuses in Harlem, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan and New Rochelle.

NYTS’ graduate programs include: Master's in Divinity, Master's of Arts in Pastoral Care and Counseling, Master's in Religious Education, Master's in Leadership and Administration, and Master's in Youth Ministry. NYTS is located in Harlem.

CNR and NYTS have had a partnership since 1979, which has educated over 2,000 students to become ministry leaders in their communities.
