2011-2012 Student Distribution of the North American College
252 Students Strong!
The Pontifical North American College accepts seminary candidates from the United States, Canada, and Australia. This year under the leadership of Msgr. James Checchio, the College campus on the Janiculum Hill boasts the largest enrollment in recent memory.
One of the blessings of an international house of study is to be able to encounter the different local experiences of the same Roman Catholic Church. United by love for the Holy Father and a common language, we learn what it means to be a part of a universal Church.
By nationality, the College has 239 Americans, 10 Australians, and 3 Canadians among the seminarians and student priests.
The academic programs at the Pontifical Universities (Gregorian, Angelicum, and Santa Croce) finish a general theology degree (S.T.B.) in three years of study. After this, students pursue a specialized degree (S.T.L. or S.T.M.A.). This generally takes two years but can be completed in one to three years of additional studies.
By academic class, the College has 2 student priests in their sixth year of theological studies, 18 student priests in their fifth year of theological studies, 45 in their fourth year of theological studies, 56 in their third year of theological studies, 59 in their second year of theological studies, 69 students in their first year of theological studies, and 3 students on pastoral year internships in their home dioceses.
