Program details

Overview

This credential is meant for people who have finished a graduate degree in theology or a neighbouring discipline, and it offers extended and specialised study. It lets learners bring their theological understanding up to date and gain an extra qualification. It is a good fit for teachers who want deeper understanding of a particular area of theology, and for those in pastoral ministry who want to strengthen their professional competence. Students choose courses that match their interests and ministry or teaching responsibilities. Because the certificate builds on earlier graduate work, it is shorter than a full degree and focuses on advanced material. Graduates gain a recognised credential that supports career growth in education, parish life, and church organisations. The program is based in New York City and draws on the university's Catholic heritage and the experience of its faculty.
