Anyang University started as Theological Seminary in 1948 and the College of Theology has been the spiritual and philosophical foundation of Anyang University and taken a leading role in further development of the university.
A feature of Anyang University's College of Theology is its efforts to weave together the interdisciplinary studies of theology with other academic fields. It also endeavors, in an ecumenical spirit, to provide various academic and practical activities in which faculty members and students participate on an interdenominational basis. The College of Theology serves the church and broad communities in diverse society.

In accordance with its founding spirit, the College of Theology has been developing up-to-date educational programs to nurture future leaders for Korean churches and world communities with understanding of the diversity of the Christian mission. Accordingly, the department encourages students to have a double major in conjunction with any other department of the university.
