Local Housing Options
Doctor of Ministry classes take place in the McCormick Theological Seminary building, which shares a campus with the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago (LSTC). Classes are five-day intensives, generally run from early Monday afternoon to Friday midday, and may include evening sessions. While in Chicago, students will have access to the JKM library housed at LSTC. McCormick partners with nearby institutions to help provide low cost housing to students in town for course intensives. Please see the list of short-term housing options below. For location and price information, and contact the institutions listed for availability and reservations.
Our campus is located in the Hyde Park neighborhood, about 6.5 miles south of downtown Chicago. Hyde Park is also home to the University of Chicago and its Divinity School, Chicago Theological Seminary, Catholic Theological Union, Bexley Seabird Seminary, and Meadville-Lombard Theological Seminary. Hyde Park has tree-lined streets, restaurants in all price ranges, a variety of local shops, and is the Chicago home of President Barack Obama. Downtown and other points of interest are easily accessible via public transportation, and Google maps can provide up to date directions all over the city by car, bus/train, or on foot.
