By licensing this new Certificate in Biblical Studies, the Connecticut Department of Higher Education affirms the mission of St. Thomas Seminary, in partnership with the Office of Religious Education Biblical School, to form adult students in understanding and interpreting the Bible for pastoral leadership. The program prepares individuals seeking deepened theological knowledge, both for personal spiritual enrichment and for preparation for ministry in the Church.
Students enrolled in the twelve member schools that make up the Hartford Consortium of Higher Education (including, among others, Univ. of Hartford, Univ. of Connecticut, Trinity College, St. Joseph College and Hartford Seminary) will soon be able to register for CBS courses (2011-12) through St. Thomas Seminary.
Students currently enrolled in the Biblical School will have the opportunity, beginning this year, to receive credit for their CBS work. Course syllabi are available through the Office of Religious Education. A process for enrollment in the new certificate is currently under review.
