The online Graduate Certificate in Theology enables students who have a bachelor’s degree who are interested in Catholic Theology to obtain an advanced certificate as a stepping stone toward an eventual Master of Arts  in Pastoral Theology. The purpose of the certificate is to develop the student’s understanding and appreciation of the Catholic faith, rooted in God’s revelation and embodied in the living tradition of the Church.

The Graduate Certificate in Theology provides an appropriate advanced credential for someone with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in any subject. It also can be a stepping stone toward a Theology Master’s degree, as all credits earned may be applied to the master’s program.

This graduate certificate program consists of 6 courses (18 credits), 4 required courses and 2 electives.
