Overview
The Theology program of Saint Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary is intended for qualified Orthodox students from the U.S. or abroad who wish to prepare for higher-level studies, teaching, and research, and for qualified non-Orthodox students who wish to specialize in Orthodox studies.
The program is a residential program designed to be completed in one year by full-time students, who take an average of twelve credits per semester. The program may, however, be spread over a longer period of time by non-residential students working on a part-time basis. The degree must be completed within two years of entrance into the program, after which time the student is normally required to fulfill any new requirements that may then be in force. All credits applied toward degree requirements must be earned within ten years of the awarding of the degree.
