Normally, the STB is earned in three years, provided the candidate has at least two years of undergraduate study of philosophy before entering an STB program (if not, the STB will take five years; ''Sapientia Christiana'' assumes this to be the normal situation). The STL is normally earned in an addi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
