  • Institutional Effectiveness

    The Board of Trustees, Administration, and Faculty of Saint Joseph’s Seminary and College are dedicated to the fulfillment of the SJS Mission Statement, and to providing all of its students with the services and resources needed to graduate on time and to achieve the Intended Student Learning Outcomes for their respective degree programs.
     

     STUDENTS

    • Seminarians in the First Stage of Priestly Formation, the Propaedeutic Stage (non-degree). 
    • Seminarians in the Second Stage of Priestly Formation, the Discipleship Stage (MACPS).
    • Seminarians in the Third Stage of Priestly Formation, the Configuration Stage (MDiv/STB).
    • Lay candidates for ordination to the Permanent Diaconate.
    • Graduate students in Theology, including lay men and women, ordained clergy, and men and women in consecrated life who wish to study Theology for a wide variety of ministerial, professional and personal reasons. 
     

    PROGRAMS

    • Propaedeutic Year - First Stage of Priestly Formation (In-Person)
    This is a one-year discernment program and is not degree-bearing.
    • Discipleship Stage – Second Stage of Priestly Formation (48-credits, In-Person)
    This program leads to the Master of Arts in Catholic Philosophical Studies (MACPS).
    • Configuration Stage – Third Stage of Priestly Formation (126-credits, In-Person)
    This program leads to the Master of Divinity (MDiv) and the Bachelor of Sacred Theology (STB) granted by the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Rome. These students have the option to complete a concurrent Master of Arts in Theology (MATheo) degree with the successful completion of the capstone requirement (a written research thesis).
    • Master of Arts in Theology (39-Credits, In-Person and/or Online)
    This program requires a comprehensive exam or written research thesis as its capstone. 
    • Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Theology (18-credits, In-Person and/or Online)
    • Post-Master’s Certificate in Dogmatic Theology  (18-credits, In-Person and/or Online)
    • Post-Master’s Certificate in Sacred Scripture  (18-credits, In-Person and/or Online)
     

    DEGREE PROGRAM LENGTH

    •  MACPS (48 Credits) - 2 Years
    The MACPS degree is structured to be completed in 2-years, although students have up to six years to complete the degree.
    • MDiv/MATheo/STB (126 Credits) – 5 Years
    Seminarians in this program typically complete their academic coursework in four years, with one additional fifth year of pastoral work - although extensions can be granted for various reasons. During these five years, seminarians concurrently earn a pontifical degree, the Bachelor of Sacred Theology (STB), from the University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome. Students have the option to complete a concurrent Master of Arts in Theology degree with the successful completion of the capstone requirement (a written research thesis). 
    NOTE: Beginning with the incoming 2026 Configuration Stage cohort, this program will shift to 3.5 year structure to fulfill the requirements of the Program for Priestly Formation, 6th edition (2022). The formation previously completed during the pastoral year will move to the parish as part of the Fourth Stage of Priestly Formation, The Pastoral Synthesis Stage. 
    •  MATheo (39 Credits) - 6 Years
    With the exception of seminarians who complete this degree concurrently within the Configuration Stage, students pursuing the MA Theology degree generally finish within four years, although they have up to six years to complete the program.
