Catholic Theology

With the minor in Catholic Theology, you will join a community of great minds in gaining a strong foundation to “open your heart” and prepare for a life of service to the Church and to society in fields such as medicine, law, education or through a vocation to the priesthood and religious life.

Courses treat the full range of Catholic thought concerning Scripture, doctrine, moral living, worship and prayer, as well as the Catholicism’s precious contributions to philosophy and social-political life.
