Abstract
The Ricci Program invites students to compare "East and West" in a year-long research project in which they examine Italy and Vietnam in a topic of their choosing. This project examines the development and current operation of Catholic seminaries, hoping to offer new insights by presenting a comparison that has not been previously examined. Specifically, there is an examination of how different environments and challenges may present difference obstacles or opportunities for the potential reform of seminaries that many in the Catholic world call for today.
This project is a religious studies student's first attempt at a research project, and its value as a project lies primarily in the learning experience that it offered and only secondarily in any content or findings.
