What do priests study?

Priests may study a variety of subjects. Many priests take undergraduate courses in theology, philosophy, religious history, or language. When they move on to attend seminary school, they study both spiritual subjects as well as courses that address the practical matters of running a church and looking after a congregation. They may continue to study theology, philosophy of religion, and receive ethical and moral training. They may also choose to study Latin and Greek, and some priests learn other languages, such as Coptic or Hebrew to widen their studies.
