Relocation to Old Mission San Luis Rey

Academic and Administrative Facilities:
FST-Old MIssion San Luis Rey

We are thrilled to be opening our new campus at Old Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside, CA.  This location is an intimate link to the history of Franciscans in California, and a beautiful environment.

On this page you will find information specific to students applying for degree and non-degree studies at the new site.

The First Academic Cohort

at Mission San Luis Rey:

All new applicants of FST, hoping to begin in the fall of 2013, will study at Old Mission San Luis Rey.  These students will be part of history as the first academic cohort of the new location and vision of the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition.

University of San Diego and

The Franciscan School of Theology

FST has created an academic affiliation with the University of San Diego.  This means as a student of FST, you will also have access to limited (and higher level) courses offered by USD.  It also means, in some cases, USD students are able to take courses at FST.  Initially, however, all new students of FST will begin their first-year studies at the Mission (Unless otherwise determined with their advisor).

Both USD and FST are committed to the success of this affiliation, and the mutual benefits of the academic opportunities each school as to offer.

USD is located about 35 miles south of Oceanside.
