Requests for an exception to this policy may be granted on an individual basis by the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Students who seek an Associate of Arts degree must declare and be officially accepted to this program, preferably at the beginning of their first semester in the undergraduate program. Until a student is accepted as an official candidate in this program, the student is considered an undeclared undergraduate and is subject to the regular Core Curriculum requirements.

The Certificate in Pre-Theology offers a program of foundational studies for men preparing for ordination to the priesthood, in accord with the guidelines provided in the Program of Priestly Formation (PPF). This certificate program is intended primarily for those who already possess at least a Bachelor’s degree in another academic discipline, but who lack the requisite philosophical and theological background stipulated by the PPF for admission into graduate-level theological programs at Catholic Theological Union (CTU) in Chicago or at other graduate-level theology institutions. The curriculum is composed of forty-eight credit hours normally requiring two academic years of full-time study. The Certificate in Pre-Theology is also available to others preparing for graduate-level theological studies, but who are not seeking ordination to the priesthood.
• A minimum of 48 credits of college work.
• Cumulative Grade Point Average of 2.00 or higher for all college work attempted.
• At least 30 credit hours of instruction in residence and at least 12 credit hours in the major.
