So my question is, where should I go to seminary now? I'm looking for:

1. Generally faithful to God's word and the reformed tradition, though I don't mind some challenging beliefs.
2. Good in training for academia and research (most seminaries seem to be completely focused on training pastors and missionaries).
3. A good enough reputation that I could go to on a to top tier graduate school.

Suggestions?
Actually Pittsburgh Theological Seminary has had some students recently who have gone on to some Top-Flight English schools like the University of Durham and Edinburgh...
