The Graduate Studies Program in Theology offers three courses of study leading to the M.A. in Biblical Studies, the M.A. in Theology, and the Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.). The three graduate programs aim at the cultivation of a broad knowledge of the Catholic Christian tradition, in its sources, doctrines, and practices.

The program offers a comprehensive theological formation for those interested in developing professional competence for catechesis and religious education, secondary theological education, or the pursuit of further doctoral studies in theology. The program is also open to those who desire to study theology in an academic setting apart from specific vocational goals.
