WTU to Conclude its Mission

WTU has announced that it does not have the financial resources to be able to continue offering its academic services to the Church and the community. In recent years, WTU, like many other seminaries and religious schools, has been navigating multiple financial challenges with the recent economic downturn, decline in the number of religious vocations and a national decrease in private funding for religious initiatives. All master and certificate level classes of the WTU will cease at the end of the Spring Semester, May 2012. Only the doctoral program will continue until December 2013.
