Concentration in Theology

About the Concentration in Theology
The concentration inducts students into the pursuit of theological wisdom in its connection with their chosen majors. It is open to any undergraduate who is not a major in Theology.
Concentration Requirements
I. Courses (15 Credit Hours):
One upper-level elective course in theology (Scripture, systematics, or historical theology)
One upper-level elective course in another discipline (philosophy, history, English, for example) that is related to the discipline of theology
Examples include, but are not limited to:
Philosophy of God
From Ancient to Medieval Philosophy (or any of the other historical surveys)
Shakespeare
The Reformation
American Catholic History I and II
II. The Capstone Presentation
The concentration as a whole is intended to possess an essential unity or structure beyond the mere accumulation of required credit hours in a particular area. To this end, the proposed concentration requires a capstone presentation. In the spring of their senior year concentrators present publicly a final paper which focuses upon a theological question or subject as it relates to the student’s major or which grows out of the required elective in a discipline outside of theology. The capstone presentation is assessed on a pass/fail/pass-with-distinction basis.
