*The Lectio coram is the final requirement for the STL degree. A Lectio coram is an academic lecture before a panel of three examiners from the faculty. Before a student is eligible to schedule and present the Lectio coram, the thesis and all its requirements must be complete. The Lectio coram is completed during the student’s final academic semester. The thesis and the Lectio coram must represent a substantial and sustained intellectual endeavor related to the New Evangelization. STL thesis and Lectio coram guidelines are available from the Office of the Dean of Studies as well as from the SHMS website. Early in their program of study, STL students are advised to obtain these guidelines and to discuss thesis plans with their thesis director and Lectio coram proposals with the designated STL faculty member.
