One of the country's oldest seminaries, Auburn Theological Seminary was located for over 120 years at Auburn, New York. Like Union Seminary, it was a progressive, "new school" institution. It had a special commitment to the Presbyterian churches of New York State, from which many of its students were drawn and to which many returned to serve. In 1939, Auburn moved to New York City and became associated with Union Seminary where, in 1950, Auburn Hall was erected in the Union quadrangle with Auburn funds. Over the years, several professorships at Union have been supported by Auburn funds.
Auburn maintains the Seminary's historic relationship with The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the presbyteries of New York State. These presbyteries, to which Auburn has been related throughout its history, continue to elect a majority of the members of its Board of Directors. Auburn is also related by covenant agreement to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
