Our values are Gospel-centered, Student-focused, Innovative, Academically Rigorous, Inclusive, and Community Oriented. Luther is the largest seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We also educate students of 41 other denominations and traditions.

Luther is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and the Association of Theological Schools.

The Admissions Recruitment Assistant supports Luther Seminary’s mission by assisting the Admissions Office with recruitment of qualified applicants for graduate certificate and master’s degree programs, and secondarily for non‑degree offerings. The assistant helps develop recruitment resources, staffs events, serves as an initial point of contact for discerning students, and welcomes them with openness and hospitality.
