St Mary's Seminary is one of the oldest Catholic seminaries in the nation. It provides theological education for both Catholic and non-Catholic students. Degree-seeking students can work towards several degree types, including a master of divinity and a master of theology. A doctoral-level degree is also offered, for those seeking to teach in a seminary setting. Many students attend St. Mary's to work toward achieving priesthood in the Catholic church, and there is ample support in the form of highly knowledgeable professors and a large academic library.
