Theology

Welcome To Your Journey in Theology

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 Catholic theological tradition. 

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.

Earn A Bachelor's Degree In Theology

Majoring in Theology prepares students for ministry, pastoral leadership, advanced studies, or success in related fields such as law, politics and history.  Academic coursework is suited to the needs of contemporary students and engages them in philosophy, sacred scripture, Catholic traditions, and morality.  The program culminates in a research project and service practicum. Students take 36 credit hours of Theology coursework that will ground students in the principal fields of theological investigation while also allowing for elective study.

A Concentration in Religious Education

UHC offers a Theology degree with a major concentration in Religious Education.  This prepares students for parish ministry and classroom teaching in elementary and high school.   The program combines studies of philosophy, theology, and education and also includes a research project and student teaching practicum.
