Students from all walks of life and from all
50 states and more than 30 foreign countries have responded to the Perkins
challenge. Today, many are entering the ministry as a second career.
Approximately 50% are women and 25% are ethnic minorities. Nearly half
of our students are married; many have children. And while most are
United Methodist, more than 35% represent other denominations. More than
a seminary, Perkins is a microcosm of our society and our world. We
offer you many opportunities to participate in, not just observe, the
interplay between faith and cultural traditions represented in our community
of faith.
