A pontifical university is a
Roman Catholic university established by and directly under the authority of theHoly See . It is licensed to grantacademic degree s in sacred faculties, the most important of which are Sacred Theology, Canon Law, Sacred Scripture andPhilosophy . Pontifical universities follow aEurope an system of degrees in the sacred faculties, granting thebaccalaureate ,licence , anddoctorate .Independent institutions or individual faculties at non-pontifical universities may also be given charters by the Holy See to grant pontifical degrees, usually in one or two specific fields. These are referred to as a "pontifical faculty" or "pontifical institute" to distinguish it from an entire "pontifical university."
These ecclesiastical degrees are prerequisites to certain offices in the
Roman Catholic Church , especially considering thatbishop candidates are selected mainly frompriest s who are doctors of sacred theology (S.T.D.) or canon law (J.C.D.) and that ecclesiasticaljudge s andattorney s must at least belicentiate s of canon law (J.C.L.).List of pontifical universities, institutes and faculties
