Courses

We are affliated to the Senate of Serampore College.The courses offered are G.S.T and Bachelor of Divinity (BD).It is our dream that the seminary should not remain just as a centre for training our priests as per the Serampore curriculum. Therefore more weightage is given to the Orthodox traditions and a mission oriented curriculum. The theological training of the lay people in general and that of women in particular has already started with the joining of Ms.Cincy Mariam Philip, the first women student at the seminary.

Those who follow the complete requirements as stipulated by the Holy Episcopal Synod will be granted a diploma called Graduate of the Sacred Theology (GST) and they will be eligible for the ordination as priests of the Orthodox Church in India. Many students have already completed the course till this day and they are serving in various parts of our country. The first convocation of the GST was conducted on 18th February 2004. Prof. Dr. Karl Christian Felmy, head of the department of Orthodox Theology at Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen (Germany) gives the convocation address.

Convocation on 7th october 2009 was an epoch making event.As the chancellor , H.B Paulos Mar Milithios awarded GST degrees to the students who passed out from the seminary. Rev.Fr. John Behr , Dean of St.Vladimirs Orthodox Seminary gave the convocation Address.
