Andover Newton to move, partner with Yale
The nation’s oldest graduate school of theology plans to relocate from Newton Centre, Massachusetts, to New Haven, Connecticut, where a remnant of the faculty will teach on the campus of Yale Divinity School.
Martin Copenhaver, president of Andover Newton Theological School, said that he and the dean of Yale Divinity School have forged a partnership that, if finalized, will phase out the Massachusetts campus and phase in a presence at Yale in 2018.
In its new location, Andover Newton will function as a school within a school, to be known as Andover Newton at Yale. The school will shrink to a fraction of its current size as students take most of their courses with Yale professors.
