Theology, B.A.


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Degrees and Programs

Description


This is a three-year, cohort-model program designed for working adults. Cohort means that all students enrolled in the program must take all 16 courses, in the order that those courses are offered, in order to graduate with a B.A. All enrolled students will adhere to the same schedule for all three years of the program.

Classes will be held at Aquinas High School in San Bernardino.

The Theological Studies major in this program introduces students to the pastoral and theological tradition of the Church; both content and context are the hallmarks of this approach:

The content of what the Church teaches (for example, Biblical theology, the Church’s theology in historical perspective, theological ethics, major theological theme)

The context in which the Church carries out its mission (for example, world religions of Los Angeles, U.S. Latina/o Theology, missionary disciples, major theological thinker)

Finally, the major is rounded out with courses that explore how the Church practices its ministry (ministry and pastoral leadership, and contemplatives in action).  In the process, students learn how to analyze texts, think and write critically, and integrate reason and faith.

Major Requirements


Students must complete 60 semester credit hours of coursework, in good academic standing, to receive the Bachelor of Arts degree. This includes 40 credit hours of Theological Studies coursework, 16 credit hours of Core (general education) coursework, as well as an introductory course and a capstone course.
