After completion of all pre-theology philosophy and religious studies requirements as required by The Program of Priestly Formation, all candidates, regardless of degree program, must take the 115-hour cycle of theology courses in the last four years of study. No exceptions to this policy will be made other than in certain cases involving seminarians who are 50 years old or older. The 60 credit pre-theology program and the 115-hour theology curriculum, in the order in which the courses will be taken, is as follows. The number of semester credit hours per course is three unless otherwise noted.

The four electives listed in the last four semesters must be distributed as follows: one in moral-spiritual theology, one in sacred scripture, one in systematic theology, and one free elective.
