Church History - Catholic University of America

Church History from Catholic University of America is a Campus Master Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The master's degree requires a minimum of 30 semester hours of credit, of which six are given for the writing of an acceptable thesis. To progress to the doctoral program, a student must either write a thesis or submit two seminar papers that are judged by the program to demonstrate research and writing skills adequate for completing a doctoral dissertation.

A cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 at the end of one's course work is required for a terminal degree, and of at least 3.3 to qualify for continuing on to the doctoral program. The student must have a demonstrated reading knowledge of one approved modern foreign language, ordinarily French or German, as well as any other language required for research in a given field of concentration. The student must take at least two seminars in which papers are required and for which the grade of at least A- is received. At least one of these seminars must be taken from a faculty member in the Program of Church History. The minimum residence required is one academic year (or the equivalent for part time students).
