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
History and Method of Theology
Foundations of Christian Moral Life

Language Requirement

Students are expected to have a reading knowledge of Latin. Since Latin is considered a prerequisite, it must be satisfied by the end of the first fall semester in the program.

Programme Structure

Courses included:
