In addition to functioning as an accredited liberal arts school, Hellenic College is home to Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, which offers advanced degrees in Greek Orthodox theology. It's notable both for its role as a leading American center of Greek Orthodox theology (they proudly stake claim to being "the only faith based Orthodox undergraduate school in the western hemisphere") and its distinctive architecture and campus. The seminary was founded in 1937, moved to Brookline in 1946 and spun off its undergraduate programs in 1968 to form Hellenic College.
