Access to a World-Class Ecclesiastical Faculty and Theological Library
Our world-class faculty, rigorous academic programs, motivated students and access to the bountiful theological resources at the Graduate Theological Union library exemplify the JST educational experience. JST is the only school west of Chicago with an ecclesiastical faculty approved by the Congregation for Catholic Education to grant degrees in the name of the Pope. Students come from top schools and receive prestigious awards such as the Fund for Theological Education scholarships. The school regularly reviews the degree programs to ensure that they meet the highest standards and maintain our cutting edge. Our reputation for excellence in academics as well as pastoral and leadership preparation enables our students to graduate with jobs in hand.
