The MCD is a body empowered by the State of Victoria to grant theological degrees. Other associated teaching institutions are the Evangelical Theological Association, the United Faculty of Theology and Yarra Theological Union. In 1993 CTC also became an affiliated College of Monash University. CTC offers courses for the academic formation of those involved in the pastoral service of the Church, principally in Victoria and Tasmania, including seminarians, religious and lay people. Its courses are open to all who wish to study for the degrees of the MCD or the Certificates granted by CTC itself.
Courses are also open to auditors.
In 1997, it was decided to relocate CTC to the site of the original Parade College, at 278 Victoria Parade, East Melbourne. Teaching will commence at East Melbourne in February 1999. Catholic Theological College Copyright 1998.
