Theology Major in Theological Studies / Bachelor of Arts

Total Credit Hours: 128

Major Credit Hours: 36

The Theological Studies concentration provides the student with a broad view of the most important facets of Theology and at the same time provides the student with the opportunity to pursue courses of personal interest to the student.  A research project is completed under the guidance of a mentor.  Foundation and advanced courses in Theology examine both historical and contemporary points of view.  Scripture, the development of the Christian perspective, the meaning of Church, the function of sacraments, and liturgical practice, among other timely topics are treated.
