Overview
The Historical and Systematic Theology program from Catholic University of America provides sound initiation in graduate theological studies by assisting students in acquiring the ability to "think theologically."
The unique strength of the program lies in the broad and solid grounding in the Roman Catholic tradition which it affords the candidate. To this end, it avoids a narrow specialization while still allowing a measure of preferential concentration and personal selection. This degree program provides a thorough and rigorous beginning in graduate theological studies and in preparation for ministry.
In addition and specific to the general requirements for obtaining a Civil Degree, the Historical and Systematic area requires the following:
Prerequisites
- At least twelve credit hours of undergraduate or graduate philosophy. Normally, these credits should be in four of the following areas: ancient philosophy, medieval philosophy, modern philosophy, epistemology, metaphysics, ethics.
- At least fifteen credit hours of undergraduate or graduate religious studies at a B grade level or above. These should include courses in the Old and New Testaments, church history, and systematic and moral theology. Upon review of the candidate's previous studies, it may be required that certain prerequisite courses be taken.
- A demonstrated reading knowledge of Latin. Ordinarily, the Latin requirement should be satisfied during a student's first fall semester in the program.
