St. John Vianney offers a four-year Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree to those seminarians who begin studies without a prior college degree.

St. John Vianney College Seminary's fundamental purpose is to provide undergraduate and graduate education and formation for those students whose stated objective is to discern a call to serve the Catholic Church as priests. As its specific responsibility, the institution assumes the academic, spiritual, pastoral, and human formation of college seminarians within a bilingual (English-Spanish) and multicultural setting. The college seminary is also committed to providing academic opportunities, both on-campus and online, for the laity and others who may be enriched by its services.

At the heart of seminary formation is not an idea, purpose, aspiration, or plan, no matter how lofty or noble. At the heart of formation is a person, and His name is Jesus.

He is at the center of everything a seminarian does, everything a seminarian is, everything a seminarian aspires to become. At the heart of formation at St. John Vianney is something straightforward: putting Jesus at the center of everything we do, everything that we are, everything we would like to be; all else is secondary.
