This program combines a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership degree with both spiritual and theological developments of those engaged in educational ministry within the Archdiocese. Among the Murray Institute's purposes is the intention of deepening an understanding of the Church's educational mission within and among those engaged in that work and assisting those carrying out this mission through educational formation opportunities. The core courses focus on leadership, and theology.
