The university maintains schools and programs that prepare students for ministry: Mundelein Seminary, The School of Parish Leadership and Evangelization, and The Pontifical Faculty of Theology.  \nMundelein Seminary is a full-time residential graduate school which assists Catholic men discerning avocation to priesthood. Formation at Mundelein Seminary prepares men (seminarians) to serve as ordained parish priests. The formation of seminarians is carried out according to the norms of the Program for Priestly Formation (PPF) promulgated by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) . The Rector of Mundelein Seminary, Fr. John Kartje, also serves as the President of the University of Saint Mary of the Lake.  \nThe mission of the School of Parish Leadership and Evangelization (SPLE) is to provide in English and in Spanish a thorough formation in pastoral leadership for men and women preparing for service in the life of the church. The School of Parish Leadership and Evangelization offers integral degree, parish, deacon formation, and ongoing education programs to ensure that students are deeply immersed in a formation program within a supportive faith community of peers. The School of Parish Leadership and Evangelization assists candidates in developing a Catholic ministerial identity as women and men who are called, supported and commissioned to serve in the name of the Church.  \nThe Pontifical Faculty of Theology, which grants ecclesiastical degrees, maintains its own President, Fr. Marek Duran. The Chancellor of The Pontifical Faculty of Theology is Cardinal Blase Cupich, who also serves asthe Chancellor of the University of Saint Mary of the Lake and Mundelein Seminary.
