Academics
The Institute confers the pontifical degrees of Doctor and Licentiate of Sacred Theology with emphasis in marriage and family studies, as well as other graduate-level diplomas in the field corresponding to the individual sessions. Due to the specialized nature of the Institute, it does not confer the more general degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theology, which is typically a prerequisite for the other pontifical degrees.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
