St. Nersess Armenian Seminary

Since its founding in 1962 by Archbishop Tiran Nersoyan, St. Nersess Armenian Seminary in New Rochelle, NY, has trained men and women to serve in a variety of capacities in the Armenian Church.  Currently, the Seminary is under the leadership of Rev. Fr. Daniel Findikyan, who serves as Dean and Rector.

The seminary offers two graduate-level programs.  A Master of Divinity degree, through the joint program with nearby St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, is the standard degree required for those planning to be ordained as priests.  The Master of Arts degree in Armenian Christian Studies is designed for men and women, both those fluent in Armenian and those who are not.

The Seminary provides a strong foundation in the history and culture of the church, while also encouraging its graduates to have the education needed to shape the church in the future.

The Seminary also offers a variety of youth and high school programs covering Armenian culture, history, and faith.  Additionally, it holds regular deacon training, musical education, and on-going religious educational programs for adults.
