The Study Of Theology Makes Every Profession More Personal

As a Marianite institution, UHC is committed to being a center for Catholic theological study and practice.  Theology students welcomed into this atmosphere benefit from rigorous academic study, personal relationships with faculty, and opportunities to share faith with others. Students are exposed to the wealth and depth of the Judeo-Christian tradition in the context of Roman Catholic theology. 

Theology students receive an in-depth introduction to theological study and preparation for advanced studies.  Students study, engage, and implement Catholic theological, spiritual, and social traditions in their lives and are invited to share these experiences with others.  The Theology department seeks to be a laboratory and workshop for students, scholars, and community members, who are enabled here to inspire the world.
