The Religious Studies program prepares students for ministerial vocations or graduate studies in theology. Many of our graduates have served the Church in ordained and non-ordained capacities, although students completing the program often pursue other professional careers, too. The program offers a complete curriculum in the study of religion from an Orthodox Christian perspective, and prepares students in a secondary field by requiring a minor in one of the other majors offered at Hellenic College (Classics, Human Development, Liberal Studies, Management and Leadership). The program also prepares students for ordained service in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America by offering an additional cycle of courses in theology and Greek language and culture. Upon completion of these courses, seminarian graduates may apply to Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology and complete the Master of Divinity program designed for Greek Orthodox Archdiocese seminarians in three years, instead of the usual four.
