[[Image:St. Vladimir's chapel.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Three Hierarchs Chapel at St. Vladimir's Seminary]]{{orthodoxyinamerica}}'''St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary (Crestwood, New York)''' is one of three institutions of professional theological education in the [[Orthodox Church in America]]. The other two schools are [[St. Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary (South Canaan, Pennsylvania)]] and [[St. Herman's Orthodox Theological Seminary (Kodiak, Alaska)]].
==Degree programs==Along with priestly [[priest]]ly vocation, St. Vladimir's also provides education for other church leaders, such as choir directors and religious educators. Along with the Master of Divinity program(M.Div.), the seminary also offers the Master of Arts in Theology, (M.A.) and the Master of Theology, and the Doctor of Ministry(Th.M.).
==History and influence==Protopresbyter [[Georges Florovsky ]] was instrumental in its founding after his departure from [[Orthodox Theological Institute of St. Sergius Institute (Paris, France)]]. It has counted among its deans Protopresbyters [[Alexander Schmemann]], [[John Meyendorff]], and [[Thomas Hopko --- ]]—nearly a who's who list of twentieth century [[theology]]. St. Vladimir's counts as alumni [[bishop]]s and [[priest]]s of many jurisdictions, professors of numerous colleges, universities and seminaries, and noteworthy lay leaders in worldwide Orthodoxy. It would be difficult to overestimate the impact of the seminary on Orthodox theology in the last fifty years.
==Library and publishing==
St. Vladimir's library is one of the largest Eastern Christian resources in North America. The seminary also houses a large publishing house, SVS Press. It publishes a quarterly theological journal, ''St. Vladimir's Theological Quarterly''.
