Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost, attended several institutions for his education:
- He completed his secondary education at St. Augustine Seminary High School in Holland, Michigan.
- He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from Villanova University in Pennsylvania in 1977, where he also studied philosophy and took elective courses in Hebrew and Latin.
- He obtained a Master of Divinity from the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago in 1982.
- For advanced studies, he went to Rome and studied canon law at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum), where he earned a licentiate in 1984 and a doctorate in canon law in 1987.
Thus, his college-level education was primarily at Villanova University for his undergraduate degree and the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Rome for his graduate degrees in canon law
