Theology

The M.A. in Theology degree offers students the rich heritage of Catholic Church teaching, providing them with an extensive academic foundation in specific theological disciplines.

For those interested in pursuing doctoral studies, the program offers a research track option that requires a major thesis, language proficiency and a comprehensive exam.

For those who do not wish to pursue further graduate studies but are looking to deepen their knowledge of Catholic theology either for their own personal development or in preparation for teaching others, the program offers a general track option consisting of coursework that provides a substantial and comprehensive overview of the Catholic faith.
