Pontifical College Josephinum, located in Columbus, Ohio, stands as a unique institution as the only pontifical seminary outside of Italy, authorized by the Vatican to confer ecclesiastical degrees. Established in 1888, this private Roman Catholic seminary embraces a rich history dedicated to preparing men for the priesthood through a formation grounded in faith and scholarship. The campus presents a tranquil, spiritually-centered setting with a distinctive Gothic architecture. The college offers a rigorous academic environment with programs in philosophy and theology, which are particularly prominent, leading to Bachelor of Arts and Master of Divinity degrees that align with its religious mission. Admissions to the college are selective, focusing on candidates who demonstrate a strong vocational call and academic ability. While student housing is provided, fostering a community life integral to priestly formation, there is no emphasis on intercollegiate athletics at the institution, given its specialized focus on clerical education.
