Overview

Holy Apostles College and Seminary is a Catholic college and seminary in Cromwell, Connecticut, centered on philosophy and theology and on forming both priests and lay ministers. It combines a small residential seminary community with a large distance-education division that reaches students well beyond Connecticut.

Academics

Philosophy and theology anchor the curriculum, taught within a framework of fidelity to Catholic teaching, and the school's graduate theology and philosophy programs — many completed entirely online — are a significant part of its identity, drawing catechists, teachers, and lay Catholics pursuing formation alongside seminarians preparing for ordination.

Worth knowing

Its online graduate programs in theology and philosophy have a real following among Catholic educators, catechists, and homeschooling parents seeking a rigorous, church-affiliated credential without relocating, a larger part of the institution's footprint than its small residential seminary population would suggest.
