Although the number <strong>of</strong> graduate credit<br />

hours required for the S.T.B. could be completed<br />

in six semesters, seminarians will be<br />

required to take the S.T.B. courses in accordance<br />

with the cycle <strong>of</strong> courses required for<br />

priesthood candidates. Thus, seminarians will<br />

not complete all <strong>of</strong> the requirements for the<br />

S.T.B. degree until they are in their eighth<br />

semester <strong>of</strong> theology at St. Mary’s. However,<br />

qualified seminarians will be permitted to<br />

begin taking S.T.L. courses and fulfilling<br />

S.T.L. requirements during their seventh and<br />

eighth semesters <strong>of</strong> theology. The number <strong>of</strong><br />

semester credit hours per course is three<br />

unless otherwise noted.<br />
