“I decided to combine theology with a major in psychology. As I move forward in my career path, I think both majors will help me better understand people and the role that spirituality and religion play in their behavior.”

Theology Department
The quest to find meaning in the study of God and the relationship between God and the universe is the foundation of theology. Studying theology also can engage a person to develop his or her own faith perspective.

Mount Mary’s Theology Department offers students many opportunities to understand and find meaning in the Judeo-Christian tradition, while being open to both Christian and non-Christian viewpoints.

When studying theology at Mount Mary College you’ll:

  • gain a strong foundation in the liberal arts
  • learn from qualified professors (no teaching assistants)
  • engage biblical, historical and systematic study of Judeo-Christian Tradition
  • have the opportunity to explore diverse religious traditions and theological viewpoints
  • develop your own spirituality

Mount Mary’s theology major is designed for those interested in:

  • parish leadership or ministry
  • religious education
  • enhancing another major area of study or career
  • personal enrichment
  • attending graduate school

Theology majors are encouraged to complete an internship to enrich their experiences outside the academic setting. Religious education students complete student teaching.

Our theology graduates have used their studies in careers such as:

For those who already have a bachelor’s degree, Mount Mary offers a theology minor and a Certificate in Theology. Studying theology compliments career fields such as education, social work, business, nursing and psychology.

We invite you to begin your journey of spiritual discovery at Mount Mary College.
