Licentiate and Doctorate
Higher ecclesiastical formation for students called to advanced research, teaching, and service in the Church.
ITI was founded by Pope St John Paul II to recover theology as a unified whole. Here, Scripture stands at the center, the great sources are read directly, East and West are held together, and study is joined to prayer, liturgy, and shared Christian life. The goal is not the production of specialists detached from reality, but men and women formed in truth, ready for mission, especially in marriage and family, in the heart of the Church.
