Seminary college is also used for secular schools

The first known group of Seminarists was gathered by St. Basil of Ancyra. The term degenerated out of general use in the Middle Ages, when most religious schooling was in monasteries, Christian Degree and afterwards, in the universities. After the Reformation and the growth of new designations, Theology seminaries once more came into use, especially in the USA. The 16th-century Council of Trent ordered Theology seminaries to be opened in every bishopric.In some countries, the term seminary college is also used for secular schools of higher education that teach teachers. While the function of the teaching Theology seminaries and theology seminaries is dissimilar, the language has not shifted. Throughout the Nineteenth century in the US, Seminaries trained women for the only socially satisfactory occupation: instruction. Only unmarried women could become instructors. Many older women’s colleges began as theology seminaries and created an crucial corps of instructors.
