Master of Arts in Theology philosophy/theology concentration
The Catholic Church possesses a highly sophisticated and elaborate tradition of reflection on the relations between faith and reason. In this concentration, students will be able to look deeply into the great figures in that tradition, from St. Paul to modern philosophers and theologians, with an eye towards both a more profound theoretical understanding as well as the application of theological and philosophical truths to some of the urgent ethical and social questions of the modern world.
Students interested in the Philosophy/Theology concentration will take 15 credit hours in their concentration area and 5 elective credits in any graduate level course and/or seminar course. View a complete list of all graduate courses offered at CDU.
Before selecting a concentration, students will need to get approval from a faculty advisor. Usually, they should have completed more than half of the core curriculum before declaring a concentration. This selection process should begin with an email to Carol Ciullo at cciullo@cdu.edu who will monitor the process and counsel students throughout the program. Towards the end of their program, students should contact the graduate registrar at gradregistrar@cdu.edu to arrange for approval of a thesis proposal and supervision of the written paper by a faculty advisor.
