The M.A. in Religious Studies (M.A. I) is a two-year degree program that builds the foundations of study across the range of theological disciplines. It is appropriate as a first theological degree for those:
- who seek academic preparation for further study at the doctoral level;
- who are active church members and desire seminary training, but intend to work in lay ministry;
- who are trained and working in secular vocations, but wish to add the perspective of advanced theological study to their work and
- who do not seek to enter ministry, but wish to study in a pluralistic and ecumenical setting.
The M.A. in Religious Studies II is a degree program for those already possessing a primary theological degree. It allows the student to design a course of study to pursue special areas of interest, including further preparation for doctoral work.
What kinds of topics do our master’s students engage? Here are some recent thesis titles: “The Praxis of Liberation in Bishop Romero’s Ministry,” “The Ebb and Flow of the Moral Concept in Judaism,” and“The Theology of the Cross: The Liberative Power in the Oppressed World.”
