A Major in Theology challenges students to the universal call to actively engage in the transformation of society. Thus, students are prepared to assume positions of leadership in academia and/or professional life. In keeping with the call to transform society, the theology program prepares students for a variety of academic, professional and service opportunities.

The Theology program requires Theology majors to take THEO 1100 , THEO 1120 , THEO 1170 THEO 4000 , and THEO 4999 . In addition, majors must take 12 hours in any one of the following three areas: Fundamentals of Theology, Historical Theology, and Biblical Studies. They must also take 12 hours of Theology electives and a minimum of 9 hours of 3000/4000 level Theology courses.

All Theology courses are reading and writing intensive and the successful completion of all developmental reading and developmental English courses is a prerequisite.
