Institutional Effectiveness,
Accreditation, Certifications, and Memberships
 The Pontifical College Josephinum
is proud of its demonstration of institutional
effectiveness through our full recognition by the
Association of Theological Schools, as well as the Higher
Learning Commission-North Central Association of Colleges
and Schools, and the Ohio Board of Regents. Through each
of their standards, we have demonstrated institutional
effectiveness through recognition of each of our academic
programs, to include the 2012-2013 academic year.
It is our commitment as an
institution of higher learning and as a pontifical Roman
Catholic seminary, that we provide a distinctive
experience for our seminarians, culminating in the
obtainment of a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Philosophy,
Sacred Theology Bachelor’s, Master of Arts, or Master of
Divinity degree through either the College of Liberal Arts
or the School of Theology, respectively.
Our institutional effectiveness is
illustrated through a closely interwoven educational
experience for our seminarians, and is perhaps best
demonstrated by our high faculty to seminarian ratio of
5:1. The Josephinum’s acceptance rate of 87.8% and
graduation rate of nearly 100% at the College,
Pre-Theology, and College level, demonstrate our
selectiveness as well as our commitment and demonstrated
success to be effective as an institution.
The Josephinum falls under the
direction of The Sacred Congregation for Catholic
Education (of Seminaries and Institutes of Studies) with
the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States as its
Chancellor.
The Josephinum’s most recent
Certificate of Authorization from the Ohio Board of
Regents, was issued in 2012, and is available for view
upon request in the Registrar’s Office.
The Josephinum was originally
accredited by the Association of Theological Schools of
the United States and Canada (ATS) in 1970, and by The
Higher Learning Commission an affiliate of the North
Central Association (NCA), in 1976. In 1981, 1991, 2001,
and 2011 both agencies granted re-accreditation for a
period of 10 years.
