Bachelor of Arts - Theology

The theology major at St. Kate's offers opportunities to reflect on historical and theological aspects of religious experiences, practice, and traditions, particularly, but not exclusively, within the Judeo-Christian framework. Students who choose theology as their major will investigate the biblical, historical, liturgical, and doctrinal traditions of Christianity and also will become acquainted with the moral issues, spiritual aspirations, and intellectual journeys of contemporary believers. The theology major is very flexible, which allows students to pursue those areas of study that they find most intriguing.

Theology majors find that many job opportunities await in youth ministry, social justice ministry, and religious education ministry. Many students select theology as a second major or a minor, in combination with work in other areas such as communications, education, history, literature, nursing, philosophy, psychology, or social work. St. Kate's theology majors have pursued a range of careers, putting their knowledge and skills to work in many different ways, including founding a facility for AIDS patients, working as a self-employed marriage and family therapist, working as a spiritual director, and founding speaker series and facilitating grief groups.

Outstanding theology students may be invited to join Theta Alpha Kappa, the national theology honor society.
