Vanderbilt University Leases New York City Seminary for Campus Expansion (original) (raw)

Vanderbilt University said it plans to expand into New York City, marking the second major out-of-state foray for the Nashville-based school.

The university said Thursday that it is entering into a lease with the General Theological Seminary in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. Vanderbilt said it is seeking regulatory approval from various state agencies for the plan, though it declined to provide specific information about what types of for-credit programs it would offer on the New York campus.
