Rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition, theology provides students with the opportunity to explore the meaning and implications of a faith commitment. Students are challenged to examine the various components of faith such as Scripture, Sacraments, and Church, as well as the requirements of Christian discipleship. This faith relationship is explored in terms of the moral qualities of life consonant with it. The theology major provides the student with an in-depth but flexible course of study.
Within the context of theology, the pastoral ministry major explores the baptismal obligation to ministry and service incumbent upon all Christians. This major prepares students for careers in ministry to youth, liturgical ministry, or religious education ministry.
