The Meadville Theological School was founded in Meadville, Pennsylvania in 1844. Its founder was a prosperous businessman, Harm Jan Huidekoper, who had discovered Unitarianism and wanted to help spread its message of liberality and hope in the "west." From its very beginning "no doctrinal test" was ever to be made a part of admission to the school. To become less isolated and to find a more enriching intellectual environment, Meadville moved in 1926 to become a part of the University of Chicago academic community. Lombard College, originally the Illinois Liberal Institute, was founded in 1851 in Galesburg, Illinois, and its Universalist Divinity School in 1881 in Chicago. When the undergraduate college discontinued operations during the Great Depression, the Divinity School began a merger process with Meadville. From 1929 to 2011, Meadville Lombard was located at South Woodlawn Avenue in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. Our school began a new chapter when we relocated to our current location on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago's South Loop.

Columbia College Chicago’s Creative Writing Department offers MFA students the opportunity to focus on one genre or experiment with cross-genre writing. As Poetry, Fiction, and Nonfiction are in the same department, it allows Poetry MFA students to take classes in Nonfiction, Fiction MFA students to take classes in Poetry, and so on. The Creative Writing Department believes it is advantageous to have all literary genres under one umbrella, because employability is often dependent on being versed in multiple genres. Cross-genre and hybrid texts are an ever-growing trend, and your ability to move across genre borders fluidly will enhance your skill sets and make you more marketable throughout your career, whether it is in teaching, professional writing, publishing, criticism, or a combination of these. In addition, formal study of a genre outside of your primary interest not only enhances your skill set and craft techniques, it also makes you a stronger writer in your primary genre.
