The new pope, Pope Leo XIV, attended several educational institutions:
- He graduated from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) at Villanova University in 1977 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics
- He attended St. Augustine Seminary High School in Holland, Michigan, for his preparatory education
- He earned a Master of Divinity from the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago in 1982 and was ordained a priest the same year
- He also earned licentiate (1984) and doctorate (1987) degrees in canon law from the Pontifical College of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome
Thus, Pope Leo XIV's formal education spans from high school seminary in Michigan to university studies in the United States and advanced theological and canonical degrees in Rome.
