Master of Arts in Theology

The Master of Arts in Theology (MAT) is a 36-credit degree program focusing on the academic study of theology. Students work with original sources and develop the principles and methods of theological reasoning and research through study of the tradition and of the contemporary context of theological discourse. Solidly Roman Catholic in nature, the degree also invites students to appreciate the wisdom of theologians from other Christian traditions and the ways in which different cultural contexts impact the study of theology.

The MAT degree is jointly offered by the School of Divinity and the Theology Department of the University of St. Thomas. The two faculties provide the programs with a wealth of theological expertise in a broad range of areas.
