History
The school first offered classes in 1997 as a branch campus of Western Seminary. In 2002, the school officially made the transition to being an independent institution named Mars Hill Graduate School. In 2006, the school moved its campus from Bothell, Washington to Belltown, Seattle.
On August 15, 2011, the school changed its name from Mars Hill Graduate School to The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology.[2] The name change came in part to help remove confusion between itself, a progressive organization, and the more conservative Mars Hill Church pastored by Western Seminary graduate Mark Driscoll.
Theology
The school is evangelical and non-denominational.[3]
Stanley Grenz, who taught at the school for several years, was influential to the school's theological roots, as was author Brian McLaren, who has been a teacher at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology and also served on the school's board.
Degrees offered
The school has one Master of Divinity degree program and two Master of Arts degree programs:[4]
- Master of Divinity[5]
- Master of Arts in Theology & Culture[6]
- Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology[7]
The school's Counseling Psychology curriculum is a mix of psychodynamic modality, existential approach, attachment theory and object relations.

The school became an Associate Member of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS) in 2006 and in February 2011 became a Candidate for Accredited Membership.[10] The school became a fully accredited member of ATS in 2013.[11]
