Summary/Abstract: The institutional changes that came with the Union of the two Principalities, on January 24, 1859, under Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza (1859-1866), influenced, as expected, the evolution of theological education. In this context, theological seminaries in the country would inevitably go through a series of changes. Thus, between 1859-1864, several steps took place through which the state tried and managed to delimit in a very clear manner the attributions of the church part from those of the political authorities in regulating, monitoring, supporting and carrying out the activities of the Seminaries. The purpose of this text is to present the historical context in which the involvement of the Ministry of Cults and Public Instruction in supervising the activity of seminaries has become predominantly dominant, making the Church play a much diminished role in the life of theological schools. During the present historical analysis we will follow the steps of this educational program that aimed to unify the theological-seminary education of the two principalities
