Although the number of graduate credit

hours required for the S.T.B. could be completed

in six semesters, seminarians will be

required to take the S.T.B. courses in accordance

with the cycle of courses required for

priesthood candidates. Thus, seminarians will

not complete all of the requirements for the

S.T.B. degree until they are in their eighth

semester of theology at St. Mary’s. However,

qualified seminarians will be permitted to

begin taking S.T.L. courses and fulfilling

S.T.L. requirements during their seventh and

eighth semesters of theology. The number of

semester credit hours per course is three

unless otherwise noted.
