Online Master of Arts (M.A.) In Theology

So That in All Things

God May Be Glorified

To study Catholic theology is to realize that the Word Incarnate and the Holy Spirit inspired Sacred Scripture and continue to guide the Magisterium of the Church. It is to study Church Tradition, which directs us as we reach up to the great minds and hearts of the many saints and scholars who, over the millennia, have contributed to the quest for genuine holiness, wisdom, science, scholarship, and art.

É«ÇéӰƬ’s Master of Arts in Catholic Theology emphasizes a contemplative pattern of study that initiates our graduate students into the great tradition of speculative wisdom, with its unifying theoretical vision of the whole of God’s creative and redemptive presence.
