About Boston College School of Theology and Ministry

The Boston College School of Theology and Ministry is a world-class center of theological study, where students thrive with the help of distinguished faculty and a diverse, attentive community. Our commitment to the Jesuit, Catholic ideal of cura personalis—care for the whole person—distinguishes our eight graduate degree programs and numerous certificates and nondegree programs. Throughout curricula, one-on-one interactions, daily liturgies, retreats, and other formation-based experiences, we cultivate students’ intellectual, spiritual, professional, and social growth. STM scholars, ministers, and mentors help students transform into leaders who will serve Catholic and Christian communities through careers within the Church and beyond.

Mission Statement

The Boston College School of Theology and Ministry (STM) is an international theological center that serves the Church’s mission in the world as part of a Catholic and Jesuit university. STM is committed to the Catholic theological tradition, which encompasses academic inquiry, interdisciplinary study, ecumenical dialogue, interreligious encounter, and the engagement of faith and culture.
STM prepares its students for leadership in lay and ordained ministries and for service rooted in faith—in increasingly multicultural contexts. Theological research and reflection, spirituality, and pastoral practice are integral to the School’s life and mission.
STM offers graduate programs, including civil and ecclesiastical degrees in theology and ministry, that integrate intellectual, spiritual, pastoral, and personal formation. Drawing on the Ignatian tradition and rich diversity of its students, faculty, and staff, STM fosters a community that is contemplative, critical, and collaborative. The School reaches out to larger theological and ecclesial communities through scholarly research, timely publications, ministerial practice, and continuing education programs.
