Theology - Franciscan University of Steubenville

Theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville is a Campus Bachelor Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Come to Know the God Who Is What are your questions about God, about why he created the world, why he came into the world, why he died for the world? What does all that have to do with you, who you really are, why you were born? What does God have to do with the purpose and meaning of your life? Find real answers to these ?big questions? about God, man and woman, and the world, when you become a Franciscan University theology major in one of the finest programs anywhere. Internationally known for the excellence of our faculty and the faithfulness of our teaching, the guiding spirit of our program is ?dynamic orthodoxy.? That means we teach from the heart of the Catholic Church, passing on the unchanging truths of the faith in all their eternal glory. Passionate Fidelity As a Franciscan University student, you can trust that everything you learn in the classroom is authentically and fully Catholic. Our theology faculty ? first in the country to take the Oath of Fidelity to the Church's magisterium in 1989 and including well-known Catholic authors such as Dr. Scott Hahn, Dr. Regis Martin, Dr. Alan Schreck, and Dr. Mark Miravalle ? have all taken the oath and received the mandatum from the bishop of Steubenville. As a Franciscan University theology major, you'll learn about the central role the Catholic Church plays in God's plan for salvation, the Church's mission in the world, and how the Church has carried out this mission in history. You'll also discover how you can be part of that mission and acquire the knowledge and skills you need to serve God and his Church as priests and religious, youth ministers and catechists, high school teachers, directors of religious education in parishes, and campus ministers. Journey of a Lifetime Once you've graduated you'll be well prepared for further studies in theology. Learn more about our Master of Arts in Theology and Christian Ministry, available on campus and through our Distance Learning option. The master's includes a study abroad semester and encourages a more advanced level of spiritual insight, critical inquiry, and historical understanding, as it cultivates your ability to apply theology within the many pastoral, teaching, and service ministries found in the Church today. You'll also benefit from a wealth of opportunities to grow your faith outside the classroom ? living a fuller and deeper prayer life, gaining a richer understanding of who God is, and willingly answering his call in the Church and the world as you teach the faith, care for the poor, and live as salt and light in your family, community, and workplace. Studying theology at Franciscan University means you combine learning and love: You'll know more about the faith and how to live it. Your witness is the best instruction in the faith you can give the world, which is why Franciscan has more theology majors than any other Catholic school in America and why parishes and dioceses that hire Franciscan University graduates are confident they are hiring men and women who know their faith, love their faith, and are able to pass that knowledge and love on to others.
