Minor in Theology

The Theology major at St. Mary’s University cultivates in students the capacity to investigate fundamental questions of human life using the wealth of Catholic tradition.

Courses in the department engage students in the systematic study of doctrine, moral theology, and scripture, taking up in a contemporary and diverse context Anselm’s classic definition of theology as “faith seeking understanding.”

In the major, students develop information literacy, integrative understanding, self-reflection, intellectual humility, and effective communication.
