St. Joseph's Seminary & College, sometimes referred to as Dunwoodie, after the Yonkers, New York neighborhood it is located in, is the major seminary of the Archdiocese of New York. Its primary mission is to form men for the priesthood in the Catholic Church. Once called the "West Point of Seminaries" for its thorough education and strict discipline, St. Joseph's Seminary still holds a reputation as one of the more prestigious and theologically orthodox Roman Catholic seminaries in the United States. As both a college and seminary, it has been accredited both through Middles States Commission on Higher Education and the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas. Attached to the seminary is an Institute for Religious Studies which prepares candidates for the diaconate and offers non-seminarians, both laity and clergy, an opportunity to earn a M.A. degree.
