Overview

Theology from Xavier University of Louisiana is also intended for graduate students or ministers on sabbatical who wish to enrich their general theological studies by exploring the Catholic theological tradition and its particular meanings for the social and spiritual experience of Black peoples in the United States and the broader Pan African World. The program is also preparation for graduate students who plan to pursue terminal degrees in theology or other disciplines.

Quick Facts:

Prompted by St. Katharine Drexel's prophetic commitment to African American and Native American communities, the Department of Theology enables majors and minors to reflect critically on their historical situations in light of Christian and other faith traditions, to contribute to the promotion of a more just and humane society.
The Th.M. program blends rigorous academic work with community-based learning to equip students with methodological tools for critical study, understanding, analysis, and evaluation.
At the same time, the program assists students in integrating theory and praxis, theology and pastoral ministry.
Such integration should lead to an intellectually grounded faith, holistic personal growth, and effective ministry skills that contribute to the continual building up of the faith community.
As an integral part of its programs, the Institute expects students to fully participate in all aspects of community life, liturgical experiences, the formation program, cultural events, shared meals, and collaborative study groups which are all part of the Institute “experience.”
To facilitate the realization of these goals, all participants are strongly encouraged to live on campus during the summer session.
