Master of Arts in Theology
The Master of Arts in Theology forms leaders in the New Evangelization through a rich theological and ministerial curriculum. The program aims to provide students with a renewed Christian mind and vision — an intellectual and spiritual formation capable of engaging the postmodern, post-Christian culture.
Program Overview
“Theology’s proper task is to understand the meaning of revelation” (Donum Veritatis §10). As an academic program that assists students in the development of theological and ministerial skills, the MA in Theology aims to guide students in reflecting on and implement the knowledge they have developed in specific ecclesial and ministerial contexts. To accomplish this goal, this program has core theological foundation courses, specific specializations and a ministerial capstone course or internship. The theological foundations core provides students the opportunity to explore the depths of revelation — establishing a solid base for considering concrete situations in a ministerial concentration. The Ministerial Capstone course in this program gives students the opportunity to identify a ministerial site where they will be able to apply this knowledge and skill set. Through the capstone, students demonstrate their competence in integrating principles drawn from coursework to concrete ministerial circumstances in their specialization area.
