GREETINGS FROM THE CHANCELLOR

Dear Colleagues, Students and Friends,

On behalf of the faculty and fellows of the

Collegium Augustinianum, it is my pleasure to invite you

to become a part of our international community of

Christian scholars who share a common love for the rich

and passionate thought of St. Augustine, the Bishop of

Hippo and Father of the Church.

Unlike many universities, we are a small, highly specialized graduate school for

philosophy and theology in the Augustinian tradition. Our central focus is Augustine’s

thought and his venerable tradition as expressed through the ages, especially in the

Middle Ages, as articulated by St. Anselm of Canterbury, St. Bernard de Clairvaux and

St. Bonaventure, to name a few. But, our scholars are equally interested in St.

Augustine’s influence on Reformation theology and philosophers like Hegel,

Kierkegaard, Max Scheler and Martin Heidegger. In fact, my own research and writing

has focused on the influence of Augustine on Heidegger’s Being and Time. Thus, the

Collegium Augustinianum is not a “patristic” institute as such; but rather, we approach

Augustine and his tradition as philosophers and theologians. We have students

working on the connection between Henri de Lubac and Augustine as well as those

working on original translations of medieval manuscripts. We are interested in

Augustine and in medieval, modern and contemporary connections with the Bishop of

Hippo.

I further invite you to become not merely a student, but to become a friend

in our community of scholars. In this way, learning is founded upon the common

intellectual relationship of the professor and the student with the text. As a Christian

community, we believe that the “love of wisdom” is the love of God, as Augustine put

it. The Collegium Augustinianum is an ideal. Therefore, I especially invite students who

are seeking not only an education, but a journey of the soul.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

(Most Rev.) Craig J. N. de Paulo, Ph.D., D.D.

Chancellor and John Macquarrie Professor

of Philosophy and Theology

Classical and

Cosmopolitan

The educational philosophy of the

Collegium Augustinianum focuses

on antiquity, and especially ancient

texts, which can be studied from the

point of view of history, or through

a hermeneutical approach to

modern texts that lead the reader

back to ancient sources. Whether

one takes the former path or the

latter, ancient and modern

languages are extremely important

in order to properly engage the

original text.

With an international College of Fellows and a global student body, writing and defending their theses and dissertations in many different modern languages, the Collegium Augustinianum is a cosmopolitan institution of higher learning unlike any other in the United States.

GREETINGS FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND

VICE-CHANCELLOR

Dear Students and Friends,

The Collegium Augustinianum Graduate School of Philosophy and Theology is

a unique institution and, quite frankly, on its way to becoming one of the best

specialized graduate faculties in philosophy and theology in the world. How many

graduate programs in the United States can boast a renowned faculty with doctorates

and other degrees from some of the ancient, European Universities including

Cambridge, Paris, Louvain, Dublin and Rome? Our fellows and faculty have not only

received outstanding degrees, but they are themselves renowned philosophers and

theologians making a mark in their respective fields. At the Collegium Augustinianum,

the graduate student will not only receive an education, but a legacy of scholarship.

In fact, if you desire a European-style education but you cannot spend the next

several years in class or in Europe, I encourage you to think about the Collegium

Augustinianum because it is truly European in its character and approach to graduate

study. Our institution offers research degrees, which can be accomplished by thesis or

dissertation under the mentorship of one of our outstanding scholars. If we do not

have a professor who is an expert in your field, it is our policy to find one to serve as a

guest reader on the defense tribunal. Indeed, in the case of one of our new doctoral

students, our Rector invited the renowned Anglican theologian, John Milbank, to serve

as a guest reader at his defense, and he has graciously agreed to do so. Furthermore,

the research degree is ideal for those students who want to focus on research and

writing and not spend too much time on coursework. Nevertheless, our fellows in

Paris, Philadelphia and Orlando offer tutorials and lectures on the entire history of

philosophy and theology for those who wish to participate. Why not choose to be a

part of a new institution that is also the beginnings of new school of thought and a

new style of graduate education in the United States?

Best Wishes,

Wm. P. Boswell

Hon. William P. Boswell, JD, LL.D. Chairman of the Board and Vice Chancellor

GREETINGS FROM THE RECTOR

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to

embark upon a truly unique educational experience;

inspired by the mind and heart of St. Augustine of

Hippo, imbued with the desire for a more traditional

way of study and dedicated to the noble, loving

pursuit of Christian community. These are just a few of the qualities that distinguish the

Collegium Augustinianum in its idealistic vision and mission.

We are a specialized graduate school driven by the resonant voice of St. Augustine

as it echoes throughout the major epochs of the Western philosophical and theological

tradition, leaving its mark on a great many movements ranging from medieval

scholasticism and reformed theology to phenomenology and deconstruction. Hence, the

research interests of both our scholars and students touch upon the various ways in which

the Augustinian tradition has helped shape and mold the sacred sciences to this day. For

example, one of our doctoral students is working on the application of Augustinian Just

War Theory to the contemporary problem of terrorist insurgency; such research

demonstrates not only the vast historical and conceptual scope of St. Augustine’s thought

but also the great variety of scholarly interest welcomed at the Collegium.

We are quite proud of the scholarly achievements of our renowned faculty and

the prominent role of our fellows in governing the academic direction of the Collegium.

Our fellows are firmly dedicated to a reclamation of the professorial ideals of the medieval

studium generale, promising a strong, unwavering commitment to educational excellence,

as well as an old world mentoring relationship between professor and student, master and

novice.

I therefore welcome you to enter into an educational ideal, a Christian community

of scholars brought together by the common love of study for study’s sake and the

unifying fellowship that forges one mind and heart out of many; or as St. Augustine so

eloquently put it, veritas per caritatem.

Patrick A. Messina, Ph.D. Rector and Associate Professor of Philosophy and Theology

Mission

Founded in 1999, the Collegium Augustinianum is an international research institute and

ecumenical graduate school of philosophy and theology in the Catholic tradition. The Collegium

Augustinianum is affiliated with the Institut Catholique Supérieur de Philosophie et de Théologie de

Paris.

CHRISTIAN, ECUMENICAL AND AUGUSTINIAN. The Collegium Augustinianum was founded

in order to establish an ecumenical community of scholars dedicated to the advancement of the

thought of St. Augustine of Hippo and his great Christian tradition of “faith seeking understanding.”

As such, the Collegium views Augustine’s writings as a theological vehicle for an authentic

ecumenism rooted in the Early Church and Patristic theology. Our community of scholars is also

interested in Augustine’s influence throughout the ages—on medieval theology, Reformation

theology and Contemporary Continental philosophy—and most especially on existentialism and

phenomenology.

CLASSICAL AND COSMOPOLITAN. The Collegium was founded upon an international

“College of Fellows”— scholars of the highest caliber, colleagues with a common love for Augustine,

whose intellectual life and accomplishments would attract serious students. Thus, our college would

be founded upon idealism and the idea that the core of a university resides among the fellows and

faculty themselves and particularly in the relationship between the student and the teacher. The

Collegium deeply values the importance of the professor’s personal mentoring of the student and his

or her critical thinking and writing about those texts that have shaped our world. Further, like the

great universities that appeared during the middle ages, our collegium would be cosmopolitan in

nature, with professors and students from around the world. As such, value the importance of

ancient and modern languages so that our students can analyze texts in the original languages and

engage scholars globally. In fact, our students may write and defend their dissertations in several

modern languages, including English, Italian, French, Spanish, German or Dutch. With such an

accomplished and internationally-renowned faculty, themselves educated at some of the most

prestigious universities in the world like Oxford, Cambridge, Paris, Rome, Louvain and Dublin, our

students will have the benefit of a world-class education. Aside from our regular fellows and faculty,

the Collegium also invites distinguished visiting professors from Oxford, Cambridge, Paris, Rome and

other prestigious universities to mentor and sit as readers for our doctoral defenses.

The Research Degree and Accreditation

The Collegium Augustinianum Graduate School of Philosophy and Theology is authorized to

grant degrees in the sacred sciences of philosophy and theology by the authority of the Commission

for Independent Education of the Florida State Department of Education (Statute 1005.06). The

Collegium Augustinianum and the Graduate Theological Foundation have an agreement of mutual

recognition of our degrees. Since we are focused on the supervised research and writing of theses

and dissertations following the European model of higher education, U.S. accrediting agencies do

not have a mechanism in place for evaluating this traditional model of higher education.

THE COLLEGIUM AUGUSTINIANUM Our Intellectual Heritage and Foundation

Beginning in 1849 with the scholarly legacy of Mgr. Henri-Nicolas Sylvestre

Guillon, Père Armand-Benjamin Caillau and Père Jacques Paul Migne, the

Collegium Augustinianum was founded in Paris in 1999; and in 2012, the

Collegium Augustinianum Graduate School of Philosophy and Theology was

established in Orlando, Florida. The Collegium Augustinianum is governed by

an international College of Fellows, which includes some of the world’s most

renowned scholars of Augustine, including Rev. Professor Roland J. Teske, S.J.

and Professor Frederick Van Fleteren, who currently holds

the title of Chair of St. Augustine, the highest honor of the

College. Since our graduate school confers non-residential,

research degrees, our students are from all over the world

and dissertations are accepted in many modern languages.

Further, students may also pursue specialized research in

medieval palaeography either in Paris through our

affiliation with the Institut Catholique or in Philadelphia

where our institute enjoys library privileges at the

University of Pennsylvania. We also have a study abroad program in cooperation with the

Technische Universität Dresden, Germany where our students can

perfect their German and study philosophy and theology at the

university or at the Catholic or Protestant theological faculties in

the area. Thus, despite our new foundation as a graduate school,

our students enjoy a venerable intellectual lineage through our

fellows, faculty and scholars that connects them with Augustinian

luminaries like Tarcisius van Bavel, John J. O’Meara, Pierre

Courcelle, Jacques Paul Migne in addition to Wilhelmus Luijpen and

John Macquarrie who were among the first to engage Christian (Augustinian) theology and

modernity. In our first academic year, Professor John Milbank of the University of Nottingham

accepted our invitation to be a guest reader for our first doctoral tribunal, and our graduate school

conferred honorary degrees upon Carlo Maria Cardinal

Martini, S.J., the late Archbishop of Milan and

renowned Scripture scholar in addition to Professor Dr.

Hans Küng and Archbishop Dr. Rowan Williams, three of

the world’s most important theologians and scholars

today. Lastly, the Collegium Augustinianum is

ecumenical, recognizing the significance of the Bishop

of Hippo for the Church Universal, and offering students

worldwide from all faith traditions the opportunity to

earn graduate research degrees in philosophy and

theology under the mentorship of our distinguished scholars.

College of

Fellows

Unlike other colleges and universities in the United States, the Collegium Augustinianum is governed by an international College of Fellows, which includes some of the world’s leading scholars in philosophy and theology, and especially in Augustine of Hippo and Augustinian thought. As peers, the Fellows elect one another to its Body and to the Board of Trustees. All of the officers, professorial appointments, honorees and the acceptance of students into our collegium are decided by the College of Fellows. Thus, the Collegium Augustinianum has restored the original nature of the College and the authority of the professorate to govern over itself. The College of Fellows affirms that the integrity of our institution is measured by the academic credentials of the faculty, our affiliations and the accomplishments of our students and alumni.

COLLEGIUM AUGUSTINIANUM

PARIS

In Paris, students may spend a

semester, a year or two in one of the

greatest cities of the world, working on

Latin and French in addition to pursuing

the Ph.D. in Mediaeval Christian

Palaeography (which can only be

pursued in residence either in Paris or

at our Institute in Philadelphia). While in Paris, our

students enjoy library privileges at the celebrated Institut

d’Etudes Augustiniennes of the Institut Catholique de Paris.

Our Doctoral students in residence at our Institute in Paris

also have the option of defending their doctoral

dissertations on the campus of the Université de Paris. In

Paris, dissertations may be submitted in French or English.

Our Institute also assists our students in obtaining the

required visas and permits for residence in France as well

as housing arrangements with families or in an

apartment. At the present time, only graduate students

of the Collegium Augustinianum may participate in this

program. In order to be accepted, the student must

demonstrate a proficiency in French; and acceptance

into the doctoral program in Mediaeval Christian

palaeography requires an advanced knowledge of Latin.

Beginning in the summer of 2014, our students

worldwide will have the option of spending a

month during the summers in Paris for an

Intensive Course in French. Graduates of the

summer French program will be issued a Diploma

in French from the Collegium Augustinianum. The

summer program will cost $7,300.00 (including

round-trip flight, intensive French course and

housing in Paris.)

Honorary Chairs and Professorships

The College of Fellows of the Collegium Augustinianum is seeking nominations for the following honorary chairs and professorships that have been established in order to honor and remember the legacy of some of the most important scholars of Augustine.

The John J. O’Meara Honorary Chair of Philosophy and Theology In a way, the Collegium Augustinianum is a school rooted in the great Irish philosopher and theologian, John J. O’Meara, formerly of The National University of Ireland, University College, Dublin, especially since we continue his legacy by way of master-student pedigree, so to speak. Professor Patrick Messina was the student of Professor Craig J. N.

de Paulo, who was the student of Professor Frederick Van Fleteren, who wrote his dissertation under the mentorship of Professor John J. O’Meara. So, in order to honor the late Professor O’Meara and his contributions to Augustinian Studies, we are pleased to announce the inauguration of this honorary Chair. This Chair will have a term of ten years. The Rector and the Fellows welcome nominations from colleagues worldwide. TBA The John J. O’Meara Honorary Chair of Philosophy and Theology

_________________________________________________________________

The Tarcisius J. Van Bavel Honorary Chair of Augustinian Theology The Collegium Augustinianum also wishes to honor the life and scholarship of the late Rev. Professor Tarcisius J. Van Bavel, O.S.A., formerly the Director of the Augustijns Historisch Instituut in Heverlee, Belgium and former Professor of Theology at the Catholic University

of Leuven in Belgium, who mentored Father de Paulo while he and Father Carroll where studying in Leuven. We are delighted to announce the inauguration of this honorary Professorship. This Professorship will have a term of ten years. The Rector and the Fellows welcome nominations from colleagues worldwide. TBA The Tarcisius J. Van Bavel Honorary Chair of Augustinian Theology

THE REV. PROF. AND MRS. ANASTASIUS C. BANDY

COLLECTION OF CLASSICAL GREEK, LATIN AND BYZANTINE

STUDIES

Thanks to the generosity of Mrs. Anastasia Bandy, the

Fellows, faculty, students and visiting scholars of the

Collegium Augustinianum privileges to the former

private library of The Very Rev. Prof. Dr. Anastasius

C. Bandy, a protopresbyter of the Greek Orthodox

Archdiocese of America and renowned scholar of

ancient Greek Christian inscriptions and Byzantine

manuscripts.

The Collection includes several volumes on ancient

Greek and Latin grammar, philology, literature,

ancient Greek Christian inscriptions, volumes and manuscripts concerning Late Roman and

Early Byzantine antiquarian scholarship, and especially that from the Sixth century scholar,

Ioannes Lydus, Byzantine hymnology in addition to several volumes on orthodox Christian

theology and philosophy.

Professor Bandy’s library was contributed to the Athenaeum of Philadelphia along with a

supporting financial contribution $10,000.00 for the benefit of the members of the institution

and the fellows, faculty and students of the Collegium Augustinianum, which is committed

to assisting in maintaining the Collection. In association with the Athenaeum of

Philadelphia, the Collegium Augustinianum will host

an annual memorial lecture concerning Professor

Bandy’s scholarship and related fields in order to

promote classical and byzantine studies and to raise

Research Degree Programs

The Collegium Augustinianum offers non-residential, research degrees based upon the European model of higher education, focused on individual research toward the thesis or dissertation directed by a professor in the respective field.

Second and Third Cycles and Degrees In the Second Cycle, for the Master’s degree, the student is generally required to complete two years of research and writing the thesis under the supervision of a director. Upon acceptance to any master’s or doctoral programs, the student must present a research proposal within the first year of matriculation to one of our professors who will supervise the thesis. The Second Cycle involves the successful completion of a master’s thesis with a minimum of fifty pages, under the supervision of a professor in addition to an oral examination concerning the student’s thesis involving the supervising professor and one other professor of the faculty. Generally, the student is also required to pass a language examination in either an ancient or a modern language relevant to the student’s research. At the discretion of the Dean of the respective Faculty, the student may also pass a language course in lieu of the examination at one of our affiliate institutions or at a recognized university. The Third Cycle, or the doctoral program, essentially involves research and the writing of the dissertation under the supervision of a directing professor. Likewise, upon acceptance to any one of our doctoral programs, the student must present a research proposal within the first year of matriculation to one of our professors who will supervise the thesis. None of our research degrees require residency, except for the Ph.D. program in Medieval Christian palaeography, which can only be pursued either in Paris or in Philadelphia where the student can conduct research on an original manuscript. Generally, the student is also required to pass a language examination in an ancient and/or a modern language relevant to the student’s research. At the discretion of the Dean of the respective Faculty, the student may also pass a language course in lieu of the examination at one of our affiliate institutions or at a recognized university. In some instances, the Dean of the respective Faculty, may also dispense the student from this requirement. Upon completion of the dissertation, and with the approval of the directing professor, the Dean and the Rector, the doctoral student may register for the defense, which involves a tribunal of three professors including the director of the dissertation. Once the dissertation has been accepted for defense, the Rector and the Dean could invite a recognized scholar to participate as a guest Reader on the defense tribunal if necessary. At this stage, the doctoral candidate will have the option of scheduling his or her defense that may be held in Orlando, Philadelphia, Dresden or Paris. The defense will be graded according to distinction if applicable. Upon successful completion of the defense and with the publication of at least an excerpt of the dissertation, the doctoral degree is conferred.

Faculty of Philosophy

There are three available areas of specialization for the doctoral program in philosophy. The Ph.D.

degree may be pursued in “Philosophy,” “Augustinian Studies” or “Classical and Christian

Humanities.” The dissertation may be in English, Italian, French, Spanish, German or Dutch

depending upon the competency and permission of the supervising professor. The doctoral program

27

usually takes between two and four years to complete, depending upon the student. The entire

degree program consists of independent research and the writing of the doctoral dissertation under

the direction of a supervising professor. The Faculty of Philosophy offers the following doctoral

degrees:

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Philosophy.

At the Collegium Augustinianum, all students are encouraged to connect their research with

Augustine or the Augustinian tradition; and in general, students are accepted based upon a research

interest in these areas. However, the doctoral program in philosophy may pursue any area of

research in philosophy that is of interest to the faculty. The faculty is especially interested in

Augustine, patristic philosophy, medieval philosophy (particularly Anselm, Bernard de Clairvaux,

Bonaventure and Thomas Aquinas), Reformation theology (especially Luther and Calvin),

Continental philosophy, and especially Existentialism, Phenomenology and postmodern philosophy.

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Augustinian Studies.

With this degree, the doctoral dissertation must focus on the thought of St. Augustine of Hippo

directly, on some topic, thinker or text within the Augustinian tradition, or concerning some

connection between Augustine and some other philosophical school of thought or discipline.

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Classical and Christian Humanities

In the doctoral program in Classical and Christian Humanities, the student concentrates on the study

of the ancient Greco-Roman world, history, literature and culture and its intersection with ancient

Christian sources, including patristic and byzantine texts. The student may also pursue connections

between Christian theology and the humanities, such as literature, history, art history, music, film

and liturgy among other disciplines of interest to the faculty and the student.

The Master of Philosophy (Ph.M.) degree in Philosophy

This degree is intended for those students who wish to continue for the doctorate either at the

Collegium or at another institution, but this may also be a terminal degree. Although the student is

not required to choose a specialization, the Faculty of Philosophy offers four specializations for the

Second Cycle: 1) Patristic and Medieval Studies, 2) Augustinian Studies, 3) History of Philosophy, or

4) Classical and Christian Humanities. The Ph.M. degree may also be conferred “in cursus” for

doctoral students who submit a thesis and fulfill language requirements.

The Bachelor of Philosophy (Ph.B.) degree in Philosophy In exceptional situations, and at the discretion of the Dean, the Faculty of Philosophy of the Collegium Augustinianum Graduate School of Philosophy and Theology offers a two-year Bachelor of Philosophy degree (Ph.B.) in Philosophy. The student may choose one of the following specializations for this degree: 1) Classical Philosophy, 2) Augustinian Studies, 3) Classical and Christian Humanities. The student may also earn a certificate in Greek and Roman Classics to further

28

specialize their studies. The Dean may dispense the transfer student or those already holding a Bachelor’s degree in another field from a semester or a year’s work in recognition of advance credit from a recognized college or university.

Faculty of Theology

The Doctor of Sacred Theology (S.Th.D.) degree in Theology1

The doctoral dissertation may be on any topic in theology; however, since we have a highly

specialized faculty dedicated to the thought of Augustine, the Augustinian tradition and the

influence of Augustine on the history of philosophy and theology through the ages, the student is

encouraged to either focus on Augustine of Hippo, or make some connect with Augustine and the

Augustinian tradition. The dissertation may be in English, Italian, French, Spanish, German or Dutch

depending upon the competency and permission of the supervising professor. The doctoral program

usually takes between two and four years to complete, depending upon the student. As with most

of our degrees, the doctoral program in theology is a non-residential, research degree under the

supervision of a directing professor.

The Master of Sacred Theology (S.T.M.) degree in Theology 2

There are three specializations for the Second Cycle: 1) Patristic Studies, 2) Augustinian Studies or 3)

Historical Theology. The S.T.M. degree may also be conferred “in cursus” for doctoral students who

submit a thesis and fulfill the language requirements.

The Graduate Diploma in Theology (Dipl.Th.) in Theology

This Diploma is usually a one-year program that requires three research papers. There are three

specializations for the Graduate Diploma in Theology: 1) Historical Theology, 2) Augustinian Studies

or 3) Philosophical Theology.

Joint Degree Programs Students may also pursue a joint degree program in both faculties by submitting a proposal to the

respective Deans, requiring the approval of both Deans and the Rector. The student may pursue the

Ph.D./S.T.D. or the Ph.D./S.T.M. degree programs in addition to the Ph.D. program in medieval

Christian palaeography. A student may also pursue a joint degree through the School of Divinity.

Joint programs require full tuition for both degree programs.

1 This degree may also be granted with the nomenclature “Doctor of Theology” (Th.D.) at the preference of the Student.

2 This degree may also be granted with the nomenclature “Master of Theology” (Th.M.) at the preference of the Student.

The Licentiate in Liturgical Studies (L.St.L.) degree in Christian Liturgy

This degree has three specializations: 1) History of Christian Liturgy, 2) Byzantine Christian Liturgy,

and 3) Liturgical Praxis and Ecclesiastical Architecture, which normally requires two years, research

year and writing the thesis the second year.

The Licentiate in Sacred Theology (S.T.L.) degree in Theology

Theology, which normally requires two years, including a research year and a year for writing the

thesis.

The Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree in Divinity

This degree is intended for those individuals pursuing Holy Orders and a ministerial vocation. It

provides a strong foundation in theology, liturgical practice and focuses on the pastoral aspects of

ministry. This degree requires a year spent on pastoral assignment.

The Bachelor of Sacred Theology (S.T.B.) degree in Theology

In order to pursue this degree, one must already possess a Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.) with at

least one year of philosophy, or possess the Bachelor of Philosophy (Ph.B.) degree. This degree

provides foundation in theological sources and it requires a minimum of eight papers and a

Institute for Mediaeval Studies

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Mediaeval Christian Palaeography

This doctoral program is a joint venture of the Faculty of Philosophy, the Faculty of Sacred Theology

and the Institute for Mediaeval Studies in which a student may focus his or her research and

dissertation on a mediaeval manuscript usually concerning one or more of Augustine’s works or a

text concerning the Augustinian tradition. While our degree programs are generally non-residential,

this particular doctoral program will require one year’s residence either in Paris or in Philadelphia.

In Paris, our students will be in residence at Institute d’Etudes Augustiniennes of the Institut

Catholique de Paris in France, and they have full access to the Libraries and collections of the

University and its institutes. In Philadelphia, students have access to the Rare Book and Manuscript

Library of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library of the University of Pennsylvania and its collection of ancient

and mediaeval manuscripts. Students pursuing this doctoral program are

required to focus on a chosen manuscript that has not yet been translated.

The dissertation will essentially consist of an original translation and critical

commentary of a chosen mediaeval manuscript under the direction of one

of our fellows. During the doctoral program, students in residence at our

Research Institute in Philadelphia will be eligible to receive a Research

Fellowship that may also include tuition remission and/or a stipend.

Students in this program may also conduct their doctoral work under the

Chair of St. Augustine. Needless to say this program requires a high

proficiency in Latin.

The Institute for Medieval Studies also offers a non-residential Master of Medieval Studies (M.M.S.) degree in Medieval Christian Civilization. Like most of our second cycle research degree programs, the first year is spent in supervised independent research and the second year consists of writing the thesis under the supervision of one of our faculty. Needless to say, this program also requires a proficiency in Latin.

Dresden, Germany

Study Abroad Program

Our new Study Abroad program in

Dresden, Germany is available for

all Collegium Augustinianum

students as well as visiting

undergraduate and graduate

students alike. During an

academic semester or year, the

student can design his or her own

Study Abroad program, which can

either focus on 1) German Language and Culture or 2) Philosophy and Theology (taught in German) at any one

of our affiliate universities or theological institutes in Dresden, Germany. Our highly-capable and

distinguished Director, George Johns, who holds a Master’s degree in German from West Virginia University,

has been living and teaching in Germany for almost twenty years. George picks up our students at the airport,

immediately takes the new group on a three-day tour of Germany, then assists all of the students with their

housing arrangements, visas, permits, registration at the university, etc., and he is available to our students for

whatever assistance they made require during their residence abroad. George is also the Director of our

Institute for German Language and Culture, and he

conducts our German language classes at TU Dresden

that range from beginner to advanced. For students of

the Collegium Augustinianum, all of the credits earned

abroad are transferable, which will appear on the

transcript at “Work completed at TU Dresden.”

The Collegium Augustinianum will also assist visiting

students who participate in our Dresden Study Abroad

program in communicating and translating their

transcripts for credit at their home institutions.

Otherwise, the Collegium Augustinianum will award its

own Certificate in German Studies or Certificate in

Philosophical and Theological Studies along with our

own transcript if the

student so desires.

The current total cost of a semester abroad is $10,500.00, which includes

round-trip flight, housing (usually a room in a German family’s home) German

language courses, university registration, guided tour of Germany and

whatever assistance our Director abroad can provide. The total cost of an

academic year abroad is $22, 000.00, which includes all of the above.

If you are interested in the Study Abroad program, please contact the Study

Abroad Office at the Collegium Augustinianum at 1-800-248-1836 or email us

Academic Regalia of the Collegium Augustinianum

Chancellor Vice-Chancellor Rector

Doctor of Sacred Theology Master of Sacred Theology

Since the Collegium Augustinianum was originally founded in France, the colors of the respective academic disciplines of our

regalia are derived from the French tradition; and thus, purple for theology and gold for philosophy. In order to further indicate

our roots in France, the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor, when laymen, wear more ornate robes more closely inspired by the

French system, with epitoge, pileus and jabot. Nevertheless, our academic robes are essentially in the Anglo-American tradition

with some further inspiration from Oxford University in the style of our robes for doctors and masters, including the use of the

academic hood, with the exception of the French colors. The regular cap is the black mortar board for doctors and masters with

black tassle, but clergy have the option of the four-horned biretta with purple tuft for doctors or three-horned biretta for masters.

The College commissioned Kenneth Crawford of London to produce these designs, and he is the official clothier of our institution.

The Collegium Augustinianum Graduate School of Philosophy and Theology is recognized as an ecclesiastical institution of higher

learning authorized to grant degrees in the sacred sciences by the State of Florida. All clergy, including officers, wear their

respective cassocks and choir dress instead of academic apparel.
