Seattle University. College of Sister Formation.

From 1957 through 1967 Seattle University offered academic preparation to four religious orders of women in Washington and British Columbia: the Sisters of Providence (FCSP), the Sisters of St. Joseph of Newark (CSJ ), and the Dominican Sisters (OP) of Edmonds and Tacoma. The Secretary of the Sacred Congregation of Religious at the Vatican termed Seattle University's contribution to the Sister Formation movement in the United States "a notable pioneer effort." Women were taught by faculty on the Seattle University campus in planned sequences of philosophy, theology, and psychology with an area major in the social sciences to prepare them to meet the needs of the modern apostolate. In 1961, a new self-contained campus was built on a 243 acre tract near Pine Lake in Issaquah, WA and became known as Providence Heights College.
