The Major in Theology introduces students to the rich, variegated, and continuing tradition of Christian and Catholic theological reflection. Examining the enduring and irreducible theological questions that human beings are inescapably led to ask about their origins and end, the Major in Theology systematically introduces students to the Biblical and theoretical foundations of theology’s distinctive exercise in faith seeking understanding. The Theology Major prepares students for graduate work in theology and philosophy and provides the educational background needed by directors of religious education, elementary/high school teachers of religion, and those working in Catholic media and publishing.
