The institution nestled in the oak woodland west of Bottle Hill started as a Methodist seminary and has evolved to become a prestigious liberal arts university with three schools of distinct yet complementary missions.

The Seminary receives its charter from the New Jersey Legislature; up to that point, it had been operating illegally.
