Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School is a theological school with Baptist origins. The present day school is a product of several mergers. The Rochester Theological Seminary was formed in 1850 and merged in 1928 with Colgate Theological Seminary, which traces its origins to 1817. Again in 1970 the school merged, this time with Crozer Theological Seminary, a Baptist school Pennsylvania where the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once studied.

The school is liberal and ecumenical in its theology, with Baptists, United Methodists, Presbyterians and members of other denominations on its faculty and in its student body. Degrees can be obtained in cooperaration with Bexley Hall, an Episcopal Church seminary, which shared its facilities and administration from 1968 to 1998 (and continued at the campus under a separated administration until 2004), and St. Bernard's School of Theology and Ministry, a Roman Catholic theological school which shared its facilities from 1981 until 2003 and since has moved to a nearby site.
