The Master of Divinity is the first professional degree program providing theological training for those preparing to undertake ministry in the Roman Catholic Church primarily through ordination to the priesthood.

A Unique Approach
As a house of formation, Immaculate Conception Seminary offers men preparing for the priesthood the personal, academic, ministerial and spiritual formation essential for conversion to Jesus Christ and their commitment to a life of service to the Church.

Locations
Classes are offered on Seton Hall University's campus in South Orange, New Jersey.  Seminarians live on campus in Lewis Hall.

Who Should Apply?
While the usual candidate admitted to the M.Div. Program is a seminarian preparing for the Roman Catholic priesthood, persons not seeking ordination may be admitted to this program at the discretion of the rector/dean, provided they meet all other requirements.

The Program
The Master of Divinity consists of four components: course work, field education and theological reflection, spiritual formation and the M.Div. Comprehensive Project and Seminar.

Career Advancement
The program meets all the requirements of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Program of Priestly Formation (Fifth Edition, 2005) and is designed to prepare men for ordination to the priesthood.
