What are the academic requirements to enter and graduate from the seminary?
In order to begin seminary studies at the graduate level (also called the theology level), you must have a bachelor’s degree with at least 24 semester units of philosophy and 9 units of undergraduate Catholic theology. Someone preparing for priesthood will earn a Master of Divinity degree. Many seminaries, including Saint Francis Seminary, offer a special pre-theology program, making it possible for candidates with a bachelor’s degree in any field to begin seminary studies, even though they have not met the undergraduate philosophy and theology prerequisites. They earn the philosophy and undergraduate theology credits in the pre-theology program. If English is your second language, a T.O.E.F.L (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score of 550 is often required. That score means you are proficient enough to study at the graduate level in English. If you live in the Milwaukee area, do not have your college degree yet, and are thinking about entering the seminary after college graduati
