Diploma in Orthodox Theological Studies

This is the core course of study for the Academy. Comprising two years of full time study, with summers off for seminars, this program thoroughly prepares the student for diaconal ordination, seminary studies, teaching courses at the parish level, and person-to-person evangelism. This program also prepares the prospective priest for excellence in pastoral work – a unique feature to the Academy’s theological education.

The Diploma (Dipl. O.T.S.) is awarded upon successful completion of all coursework, written requirements, and fulfillment of all financial obligations to the GreatMartyr Euphemia Orthodox Theological Academy.
