Location and Duration of the Ordination and Master of Divinity Credential Programs

Because of the importance of the formation community—a comprehensive community of faith and learning—and in compliance with the requirements of the Program of Priestly Formation (4th ed., 1992, 353), Kenrick School of Theology requires at least four years of full-time residency at the campus of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary for completion of the Ordination Program. Although the requirements of the Master of Divinity Degree Program are less extensive than those of the Ordination Program, they are spread over the four-year duration of the Ordination Program; for this reason, Kenrick requires the same four years of residency at the Kenrick-Glennon campus for completion of the Master of Divinity Program.
