Pre-Theology - concurrent with any programs

Provides future seminarians the philosophical, theological and liberal arts background to pursue graduate-level theology. The program matches the requirements of the USCCB “Program for Priestly Formation.” It provides a solid liberal arts education, an in-depth appreciation of the Catholic intellectual tradition (literature and the arts), rhetoric and communications, and the historical and cultural context of the Catholic faith. It extends over 3-calendar years for undergrads and 2-years for grad students. The program addresses all 4-pillars of formation - human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral.
