Sacred Heart Major Seminary

The fall of 1919 began the seminary's first academic year. Living quarters for boarding students and administrative offices were located in two cramped houses in midtown Detroit, on Martin Place. As enrollment jumped and more dormitory space was needed, Bishop Gallagher leased a duplex and later a seventy-room apartment building on Alexandrine Avenue. 

The College of Liberal Arts, through its undergraduate degrees (A.A.M., A.B., B.Phil.) and diploma programs, forms students with a deep appreciation and knowledge of philosophy and the humanities. The School of Theology, through its graduate degrees (M.Div., M.A.P.S., M.A., S.T.B., S.T.L.) and diploma program, inculcates the knowledge, dispositions and skills required of those who will minister in the Church.

Career Services, through the Institute for Lay Ministry (ILM) at Sacred Heart Major Seminary, exists to assist students and alumni in discerning how to best utilize their diploma or degree program, together with their gifts and talents, to serve the Church in the world.
