The Archdiocese of Atlanta places its seminarian candidates carefully according to academic and pastoral formation needs. If you are chosen as a seminarian for this archdiocese, you may be sent to one of three seminaries.

Candidates for admission as seminarians in theology should have:

• Sponsorship from their sending bishop;

• An undergraduate degree in arts or sciences from an accredited college;

• 24 semester credit hours of undergraduate philosophy or its equivalent;

• Official transcript showing undergraduate course work toward such a degree; degree completion should be anticipated within the seminary's two-year pre-theology
