The Master of Theological Studies is meant for students who seek focused scholarship, plan to enter doctoral work, or simply want to satisfy intellectual curiosity. It serves as a first degree in theology.
Courses orient students to scripture, church history, ethics and constructive theology. Library holdings include the Vatican Film Library microfilms, Jesuit archives and the Divinity Library.
Graduates have entered academia, school administration, museums, libraries, archives and nonprofits. An undergraduate theology or religious studies major is suggested but optional.
Applicants are not required to have majored in theology, but a strong background in the field is considered favorably. Applicants can apply year-round, and those wishing to be considered for scholarship money should submit materials early. The department also stresses professional preparation, and the degree works well as an entry point toward doctoral research in theology.
