Christian Seminary Schools
A seminary educates ministerial students to become priests and pastors. Seminaries most often provide post-graduate degrees and many affiliate with a specific denomination. The seminary may allow a student who does not affiliate with the sponsoring denomination to attend class and graduate. Denominations may ordain ministerial students who graduate from a seminary outside their affiliated school. A ministerial candidate should check with his chosen denomination to ensure that his seminary degree will be accepted.
