CDU’s offers a degree completion program for a Bachelor of Arts degree in theology. It is designed for students who have not yet earned
a bachelor’s degree, but who have earned a minimum of 88 undergraduate
credits. Once accepted
into CDU’s program, they earn 38 additional credits
in theology enabling them to graduate with an accredited B.A. degree in theology.
This theology degree will help students expand
their knowledge of the Catholic faith and develop the skills needed
to demonstrate competency in explaining the essential teachings
of the Catholic Church using Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition,
and Magisterial documents, with emphasis on the Catechism of the
Catholic Church and the Documents of Vatican II.

education credits and theology credits at the same time. Students with 60 general education credits are accepted into the CDU program as provisional students with full acceptance granted when all 88 general requirement credits are earned. General education
