B. A. in Theology
Overview
This major is for those who are interested in learning to speak truthfully about God and of all things related to him. It is a professionalizing degree that opens up multiple careers within the Church, while also imparting the skills that students need in the workplace even outside theologically oriented occupations. The program requirements leave space for theology majors to pursue a minor or a major in another discipline. The Theology Department strongly encourages students to pursue a minor that might complement their theological formation.
It is the student’s responsibility to see that all degree requirements for graduation are fulfilled.
