One of the finest Reformed evangelical seminaries — founded 1966, multiple campuses, Westminster Confession commitment. 96/100 Christ-Centered.
Reformed Theological Seminary was founded in 1966 in Jackson, Mississippi, when many mainline seminaries were departing from orthodox Reformed theology. Its founding purpose — training ministers committed to the Westminster Confession of Faith and the historic Reformed faith — has been maintained across 60+ years and multiple campuses. RTS faculty have included significant Reformed evangelical scholars including John Frame, Michael Kruger, and Richard Pratt.
RTS offers MDiv, MAR, MTS, DMin, and PhD programs through campuses in Jackson MS, Orlando FL, Washington DC, Charlotte NC, Atlanta GA, Houston TX, and New York City. The multi-campus model serves Reformed evangelical students across the country. The DC campus serves students interested in government and public policy from a Reformed perspective. For Reformed evangelical students choosing seminary, RTS is among the strongest options alongside Asbury Theological Seminary (Wesleyan) and Dallas Theological Seminary (dispensational).

The label "Christian college" spans an enormous range. Key indicators of genuine Christian institutional identity: a binding doctrinal statement that faculty must affirm, required chapel attendance, lifestyle standards consistent with Christian ethics, and faith integrated across all academic disciplines — not just theology departments. Score: 96/100 Christ-Centered.
