Sacred Heart Major Seminary

Overview

Sacred Heart Major Seminary, located in Detroit, Michigan, offers a spiritual and academic environment primarily focused on Roman Catholic theology and pastoral ministry. Established in 1919, the institution operates against the backdrop of Gothic architecture, which complements its religious focus. As a specialized seminary, Sacred Heart provides an array of degree programs ranging from philosophy and theology to pastoral studies, with graduate degrees including the Master of Divinity and the Master of Arts in Theology. While the seminary has a selective admission process, it emphasizes the cultivation of theological scholarship and ministerial practice. On-campus living options are available, accommodating those studying for the priesthood as well as lay students who choose to be resident in the seminary's supportive environment.
