    The Debrecen Reformed Theological University, as a member institute of the Debrecen Reformed College founded in 1538, has been one of the influential centers of theological sciences and ecclesiastic training of intellectuals.
    Debrecen became the ecclesiastic center of the Tiszántúl that became protestant by the middle of the 16th century. At that time, the minister and teacher training in the region was carried out by the town's school. Thanks to its professors with experience from Western European universities, extended school network in the country, and protection and rich support from the town and from the princes of Transylvania, the college soon became an institute of national importance. As a poor school, it provided education for the lower layers of society and supported their social advance. Besides notable scientists and science organizers, several poets, writers, and philosophers knew in Hungarian cultural history are found amongst the college's former students.
    Our university is one of the oldest institutes of education in Hungary: education rich in experiences with reformed Christian commitment at the current age level has been carried out since 1538 in the institute. In our non-religious degree programs, teachers and youth workers may learn. In contrast, the religious degree programs prepare students for Church service and are Christian intellectuals – in the motto "Community, faith, knowledge."
    Our university was a founding member of the Debrecen Universitas Association and is still an associated institute of the University of Debrecen. The cooperation is close even beyond joint training. The DRTU currently has two institutes and seventeen departments. Our university, apart from its undivided, basic, master, and Ph.D. and higher education vocational training, carry out the training of further church employees, teachers, and other secular intellectuals. The institute currently has 60 full-time teachers and around 800 students.
