Master of Science (M.S.) in Ecclesial Administration and Management Program
Program Description
The Master of Science in Ecclesial Administration and Management is a professional degree responds to the needs of Church leaders in light of the USCCB’s Program of Priestly Formation (PPF). In light of the new PPF, we offer two courses for the Propaedeutic period and three for the Vocational Synthesis, that stand alone or serve as an introduction to pursuing the full degree. Dioceses, seminaries, and partner universities can employ this content in the manner most effective and appropriate for their faculty, their institutional needs, and the personal situations of individual candidates for holy orders, priests, pastors, and even lay men and women professionally serving the local Church.
