<p>The dual degree programs offered at 涩里番下载 are academically rigorous, but more than doable for a student who is very interested in two fields of study.&nbsp; The dual degree programs are a bit longer than the programs offered at the CSTM, resulting in three years of continuous study (though they would take four years if you did the two degrees independently), but there are multiple support networks to help guide you through the process and through the course requirements.<br> </p>

<p>Yes! Many CSTM students are involved with undergraduate ministry at 涩里番下载.

<p>There are multiple opportunities to work on campus through graduate assistantships and other on-campus employment options. In addition to the financial benefits of these positions, our students and alumni often report on the professional and ministerial skills gained from their time as graduate assistants. Both the 涩里番下载 Office of Graduate Student Life and the 涩里番下载 Office of Student Services maintain listings of potential assistantships and work-study positions open to all 涩里番下载 graduate students.</p> <p><a href="/content/bc-web/offices/student-affairs/sites/graduate-student-life.html"><span class="btn btn-default btn-gold">Graduate Student Life</span></a></p> <p><a href="/content/bc-web/offices/student-services/student-employment.html"><span class="btn btn-default btn-gold">Student Services</span></a></p>

Our faculty members are always excited to meet with and get to know their advisees. At CSTM, students are not just a number. The one-on-one relationship between professor and student allows our students to become familiar with academic life at CSTM, to determine what courses they should take, and to explore options for the future.

M.A./M.S.W. students complete two&nbsp;social work field placements&nbsp;in Academic Year II and Academic Year III, while M.A./M.A. students complete a&nbsp;full-year counseling practicum&nbsp;in the final year of their program.

<p>No formal background in theology, no problem! All undergraduate majors are considered.

Although CSTM does provide a rigorous academic environment, it offers a wide array of classes, tailoring to all levels of theological understanding and interest.<br> </p>

<p>The GRE is optional. We recommend that applicants consider submitting scores if they do not have a strong background in the humanities or if they feel that their undergraduate transcripts are not indicative of their ability to succeed in graduate studies. <br /> </p>

<p>Unfortunately, 涩里番下载 does not provide graduate student housing. Lay international students must find an apartment or place to live for themselves, though we provide as much support in this process as possible. </p> <p>There are select possibilities for international priests to find housing through the Archdiocese of Boston.

We are able to nominate a few sisters per year for this housing.</p>

<p>Dual degree students receive separate financial aid packages from both schools as part of their admission decisions. Each term, dual degree students will have a &quot;home school&quot; in which they are enrolled. During that term, the student will pay tuition to the school in which they are enrolled and the financial aid package that they receive from that school will apply to all credits being taken during that term, regardless of if you are taking classes at both schools during that term. For example, if a M.A./M.S.W. student is enrolled at the CSTM and taking classes at both schools, their CSTM financial aid package would apply to credits from both schools for that term.</p> <p>For the M.A./M.S.W. and M.A./M.A. programs, the CSTM's financial aid package will apply to Academic Year I and both summers of the dual degree program, while the other school's financial aid package will apply to Academic Year II and Academic Year III of the dual degree program.&nbsp;</p> <p>For the M.A./M.B.A. program, the CSTM's financial aid package will apply to Academic Year I, Summer I, and the Fall semester of Academic Year III. The Carroll School of Management's financial aid package will apply to Academic Year II, Summer II, and the Spring semester of Academic Year III.&nbsp;</p> <p>For students in the M.A./M.Ed. program in partnership with 涩里番下载's Urban Catholic Teacher Corps, the CSTM's financial aid package will apply to Academic Year II and onwards, and the Lynch School's financial aid package will apply to Summer I, Academic Year I, and Summer II.</p> <p>If a student starts at 涩里番下载 in one graduate program and then later adds the second, the funding schedule may need to be altered. The admissions office will discuss specific details with each applicant. Never hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!</p>

<p>Although CSTM is located on Brighton campus, students and faculty members have multiple opportunities to participate in courses and lectures on the main Chestnut Hill campus. CSTM students are welcome to take courses through the 涩里番下载 Department of Theology, located on main campus, and are always invited to different lectures and events happening campus wide. Many times throughout the year, CSTM professors will host their own lectures on main campus, giving students the opportunity to interact with the larger 涩里番下载 community. Getting involved with campus ministry and utilizing different libraries across campus are two great ways to make the trek over to Chestnut Hill campus with a bit more frequency!<br> </p>

<p>If you poll current CSTM students on the car question, you鈥檒l find about a 50/50 split. Some people really want to have a car here, while others think it鈥檚 too much of a hassle. Either way, getting around campus and Boston, in general, is very easy. There are buses and trains that will take you from 涩里番下载 to downtown Boston in less than an hour, with several stops at stores and restaurants in between. The 涩里番下载 shuttle is also a great service for students. It is totally free and runs throughout the entire 涩里番下载 campus and surrounding residential areas. With all the transportation opportunities, Boston is easy to navigate and fun to explore.<br> </p>

<p>We understand the value of a strong theological education, which is why we do our best to make sure that our students have opportunities for financial assistance, whether it be through scholarships, federal aid, externships, or graduate assistantships.

<p>The dual degree program is a great fit for students with a wide variety of interests who hope to聽incorporate faith and spirituality into their professional and personal lives, and who also view their current and future work in related fields as their call to ministry. On a personal level, the dual degree has been valuable to students by providing them with academic and faith communities, classes, and practical experiences that are rooted in their values and align with their professional, personal, spiritual, and social interests. On a professional level, dual degree students are equipped with a unique interdisciplinary skill set that opens up professional possibilities, with graduates living out their call to ministry through a wide variety of fields, or applying the lens of the partner field to more explicitly ministerial settings.<br /> </p>

<p>We don鈥檛 really like those labels! CSTM works diligently to foster a culture of encounter and dialogue. One of the things we鈥檙e most proud of here is our unity in diversity. There is a diversity of opinion among our students, faculty, and staff, which is something we鈥檙e grateful for as we seek to represent a microcosm of the global church. Our primary task here is to accompany each other in our journey of discipleship and prepare one another for our work in service to God and the church.

<p>CSTM students are very active! Each semester, different student groups host events at CSTM and off campus.

<p>Each year, the CSTM awards scholarships to new students, supporting those candidates who have the strongest academic credentials, ministerial commitment, and greatest financial need. Most students fund their studies through a combination of tuition scholarship, on-campus work, and federal student loans. 100% of master's students receive scholarship support.</p> <p><span class="btn btn-default btn-maroon"><a href="/content/bc-web/schools/stm/admission/tuition-aid.html">Tuition &amp; Aid</a></span></p>

<p>Perhaps one of the best things about CSTM is the tight-knit community environment that the school offers both inside and outside of the classroom. One of the best demonstrations of this commitment is our Thursday 鈥淟unch and Liturgy鈥�.&nbsp; Every Thursday, students, faculty members, and staff are invited to participate in Mass held in St. Ignatius Church, which is located right down the hill from Simboli Hall (CSTM's main classroom building).

Current and graduated CSTM students often post vacant rooms or apartments that they are looking to pass down to incoming CSTM students.&nbsp; Joining the CSTM student page can be a very helpful tool once you confirm your attendance!<br> </p>

<p>The Clough School of Theology and Ministry is one school housed within the larger university of 涩里番下载. Through CSTM, students are able to pursue different degrees focused on theology and ministry. The 涩里番下载 Theology Department is housed in the Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences on 涩里番下载鈥檚 Chestnut Hill campus.&nbsp; The focus of the Theology Department is the Ph.D. in theology (offered in Biblical Studies, Moral Theology, Systematics, Historical, and Comparative).

<p>Higher education in the United States is expensive. However, CSTM is proud to award tuition grants, as well as graduate and research assistantship opportunities, to international students, depending on availability, to help ease their financial burden. For consideration, students must be enrolled in a degree seeking program, and should exhibit an exemplary academic record and personal potential. Students should be aware that, even if receiving a tuition grant, they still must obtain support to pay for their living expenses. Unfortunately, federal loans are not available to those who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents.</p> <p>All international students must show that they have sufficient funds or resources to pay for their tuition and living expenses during the course of their studies, whether support comes in the form of scholarships, grants, or support from a religious order or a personal bank account. Applicants do not need to supply evidence of sufficient resources with their applications. Once accepted, the admissions office will send a form where one can document resources.</p>

<p>The city of Boston and its surrounding communities offer an array of housing options. Although the CSTM does not offer on-campus housing, we do all that we can to provide support throughout the process, including helping students find roommates and local listings. 涩里番下载 is located 6 miles from downtown Boston, so many CSTM students live closer to campus where rents can be less expensive than in the center of the city.</p> <p>Graduate students are also welcome to apply to be Resident Assistants for 涩里番下载.</p> <p><a href="/content/bc-web/schools/stm/community/living-in-boston.html"><span class="btn btn-default btn-maroon">Living in Boston</span></a></p> <p><a href="/content/bc-web/offices/student-affairs/sites/residential-life/about/job-opportunities/ResidentAssistantApply.html"><span class="btn btn-default btn-gold">Being an RA</span></a></p>
