Curriculum
The programs at Seminary of the Southwest follow a path focused on three areas of formation: being, knowing, and doing. The seminary’s foundational attention to academic excellence (knowing) is complemented by attention to dispositions (being) and skills (doing). Each program seeks to produce well-rounded, thoughtful graduates who have become not only proficient in a field of study but wise and charitable practitioners.
The faculty at Southwest seeks to immerse their students in that tradition and at the same time provide them with the critical tools for evaluating its various expressions through the ages.
Seminary of the Southwest’s reputation for academic excellence amid a community built on a foundation of trust is core to the seminary’s unique identity and offerings. Whether graduates become priests, counselors, or spiritual leaders – all will be formed with the intention and preparation needed for them to thrive in vocations of service and healing.
