The INSTITUTE OF THEOLOGICAL FORMATION (ITF) provides theological formation to candidates to the priesthood. It runs programs leading to the ecclesiastical degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theology (SThB) and the civil degree of Master of Arts in Theology (MATh). It also offers a two-year Certificate Program on Religious and Pastoral Studies designed particularly for Salesian Lay Brothers but open to other students.
The Don Bosco School of Theology (DBST), also known as Don Bosco Center of Studies (DBCS) at Paranaque City, was established in 1972 to house the Salesian students of theology. In 1983 it opened its own school of theology.
