Mount Angel Seminary, the oldest Catholic seminary west of the Mississippi River, was established in 1889 by the monks of Mount Angel Abbey at the request of the Archbishop of Oregon City. The primary purpose of Mount Angel Seminary is forming and educating men for the Catholic priesthood for dioceses and religious communities. But a sizable number of non-seminarian students, including lay people, study at Mount Angel Seminary in the Graduate School of Theology. Mount Angel Seminary offers degrees ranging from bachelors to doctorate and is an accredited institution under the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) and the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU).
