Vocation directors from around the country report that they have many high-qualified applicants for priesthood studies who lack a college degree. Such candidates frequently feel discouraged by the prospect of eight years of study before ordination. Working with their vocation directors, the director of admissions, and the dean of The Saint Paul Seminary, these students are invited to investigate the possibility of an individualized plan that will permit them to receive an undergraduate degree from the University of St. Thomas and advance them toward priesthood as expeditiously as possible.
