EPISCOPAL THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY OF THE SOUTHWEST

The Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas, offers an environment of Catholic spirituality, but also one of rigorous academics and scholasticism. Beyond worship activities and study of biblical texts, The Seminary truly practices the tenets of Christianity, right down to their financial commitment to their students. Programs of study focus on different aspects of Christian spirituality, such as: * Divinity * Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care * Spiritual Formation * Theology Students... may also get a degree in Counseling, which approaches therapy from a Christian perspective. Studying under professors who are both strong in their spirituality and in their scholastic achievements gives students the best of both worlds. The college life experience is one that very much centers on Christian worship, including daily prayer and weekly religious services. This commitment to Christianity can be seen even in the Seminary’s financial aid and tuition policies. In addition to having maintained the same tuition for several years running, Seminary of the Southwest does not award student loans. Instead, as an act of goodwill, they offer financial aid sources that don’t need to be paid back, such as grants, work-study programs and scholarships. Admissions requirements include an application, transcripts, an interview, a spiritual autobiography and, for graduate students, GRE or MAT scores.More
