History of Bloomfield College

The origins of Bloomfield College go as far back as 1868 when the German Theological Seminary of Newark, New Jersey was founded by the Presbyterian Church. It was relocated to Bloomfield in 1872, taking up residence in the former Bloomfield Academy at Franklin and Liberty Streets. Today, this location is known as Siebert Hall. The Westminster Arts Center, pictured to the right, is also located on Franklin Street and, with its iconic tower, is no doubt an inspiration for the school logo artwork.

In 1923 the first four-year programs were introduced which made Bloomfield College an independent division of the Seminary. However, it wasn’t until 1931 that the school’s name officially changed to Bloomfield College and Seminary. For a brief time in 1961, the name had changed “Seminary” to “Institute”, but soon after it was decided to drop that part of the name entirely, leaving the name we know it as today, Bloomfield College.
