Theology - Duquesne University

Theology from Duquesne University is a Campus Bachelor Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Why Major in Theology? Most students major in theology because they find religious and theological questions fascinating and hope to discover more about how religion fits into their lives. Almost all seek to know more about the Christian tradition and its influence. Students often choose to study theology because they plan to do graduate work in theology or religious studies in anticipation of teaching careers in high school, church sponsored catechetical programs, or college. Others are attracted to ministry in their churches. Many do not have specifically church related career goals, but do believe that developing the ability to think critically about issues related to religious beliefs and values will help them to prepare for graduate work or a career in another field. Usually students elect theology as a second major with an interest in complementing a first major. An inherently interdisciplinary field, theology is an ideal complement for another liberal arts major, but can also complement other fields as well, such as the natural and health sciences, education and business. A theology minor is also a good way for a student to achieve a balanced background for a variety of fields. The student who chooses to major in theology at Duquesne University will have the opportunity to work with a distinguished faculty, many of whom have earned awards in teaching and scholarship, in the study of the Bible and other religious texts and in an exploration of the beliefs and moral commitments of people of faith. The smaller class size of most upper division courses lends itself to seminar style sessions in which students can be actively engaged in constituting their own learning.
