About This School

Sacred Heart Major Seminary has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 100%. The average net price after financial aid is $10,371 per year. The graduation rate is 67%.

Sacred Heart Major Seminary is a private Catholic seminary in Detroit, Michigan, United States. It is affiliated with the Archdiocese of Detroit.

Worth considering if you're pursuing Catholic ministry or theology — the $7,500 median debt at graduation is remarkably low, and that 100% freshman retention rate signals students who enroll tend to feel supported and stay. That said, the 67% graduation rate means roughly one in three students doesn't finish, which is worth asking about directly before committing. This is a highly specialized institution best suited for students with a clear vocational path in the Catholic tradition, not a general liberal arts option.
