Master of Arts in Theology Program
The Master of Arts in Theology degree
program is designed to offer students a rigorous and engaging
study of theology at the graduate level. The program offers
a sound theological and well-rounded approach where students study foundational
theology, Sacred Scripture, christology, ecclesiology, liturgy, and moral theology. Two
courses in philosophy—metaphysics and philosophy of the human person—provide the
philosophical foundation for the advanced study of theology. All faculty
in the theology department hold to the teachings of the
Catholic faith, as guaranteed by the Magisterium of the Church,
ensuring students the opportunity to study this sacred science in
an environment worthy of its subject matter.
While the
program does not require previous coursework in theology, prospective students
are strongly encouraged to begin reading from the recommended reading
list, page 19, to become familiar with the study of
theology at the graduate level.
