Licence en Théologie Sacrée

The Pontifical College Josephinum, affiliation with the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum) in Rome, Italy, offers a Bachelor of Sacred Theology (STB). Since the Angelicum awards this degree, it is an entry-level pontifical degree. Candidates awarded this degree can then move on to pursue higher pontifical degrees. Requirements for ordination are not satisfied by the STB degree since it does not require the practical courses included among the ordination requirements.

Since the Josephinum was founded in 1888, zealous young men eager to grow in holiness and labor for souls' salvation have been received as seminarians at the Pontifical College Josephinum. As America’s only pontifical seminary, the Josephinum welcomes your interest in our academic programs, both undergraduate and graduate, where qualified candidates are allowed to receive the finest possible education and formation for the Catholic priesthood. Here you will find information about our rich traditions and our unique offerings. We welcome your inquiry about the Josephinum and hope that we might have the opportunity to connect your interest with our ongoing mission.
