Overview
Accordingly, the Divinity curriculum from Catholic University of America involves an in-depth study of the Christian, especially the Roman Catholic, theological tradition, and a supervised practice of ministry. The department offers an optional Concentration in Hispanic Ministry that has additional requirements involving the Spanish language and Hispanic/Latino studies and placement in a setting involving Hispanic ministry.
Coursework
All students are ordinarily required to take six credits of Basic Supervised Ministry or a unit of Clinical Pastoral Education (C.P.E.) and the one-semester Advanced Supervised Ministry course. At least one course must be taken in a non-Catholic ecclesial tradition through the offerings of the Washington Theological Consortium.
All students entering the program must take the following courses in the first fall semester:
- Proseminar for Masters Students
