Introduction
The Master of Arts (MA) in Theology is an academic degree for seminarians of superior academic ability who show the capacity for research and writing that may lead to teaching, administration, or further studies. The MA degree is distinct in purpose from the Master of Divinity degree, a professional degree oriented to ministry.
MA in Theology Program Outcomes:
- Build a body of scholars who can apply the content of graduate-level theology to contemporary ministerial settings.
- Twenty percent of Master of Divinity seminarians will pursue a MA in Theology degree concurrently to develop priests who are teachers.
- Eighty percent of seminarians in the MA in Theology program feel strongly or very strongly that the MA degree has enhanced their vocational experience.
