    • "St. Joseph's Seminary & College provided an excellent Masters of Theology program taught by knowledgeable and caring professors. The program was challenging but prepared me well for my work as a deacon. In addition to the faculty, the library staff were extremely helpful in assisting me with locating some excellent sources for research papers and my thesis."

The faculty and staff are among the most caring and genuine people I have ever encountered."

    How to Apply
    • Step One: Contact us for more information about our programs.

      For prospective seminarians, please contact Fr. John Cush, Seminary Director of Admissions.

      Applicants for our non-seminarian MA, Certificate, MACPS, and non-degree programs may contact the Academic Office at [email protected] or one of our Associate Deans directly: Dr. Donna Eschenauer  (914) 367-8280 Dean Christine Hammill-Cregan (631) 423-0482 ext. 

       

      Step Two: Gather your required documentation.

      Required Documents for Prospective Students:

      • Transcripts
      • Statement of Purpose
      • Recommendation Letters
      • The Proof of Immunization Form in the Forms and Worksheets tab is required from all applicants born after January 1957, who are taking two or more classes per semester. New York State requires all schools of higher education to maintain proof of immunization in student records.
      • A valid government issued photo identification. Please submit either a passport, driver’s license/permit or U.S. Military ID.
      • There is a $55.00 application fee for all first-time students. Returning students applying for a new program are exempt from paying an application fee.

      Because each diocese requires Letters of Intent or a Statement of Purpose and recommendation letters, candidates for the permanent diaconate are exempt from submitting those documents to St. Joseph's Seminary; however, official transcripts and proof of immunization (if born after January 1957) are required and must be submitted to the Academic Office.  Candidates for the permanent diaconate are exempt from the $55.00 application fee. Please contact your diaconate office for the waiver code.

      If you have trouble accessing the forms or accessing Populi, please contact the Academic Office at: [email protected].
