Departmental Overview
The Master of Arts in Catholic Studies offers an integrated Catholic vision of the world through a cross-curriculum program of study that combines theology and philosophy, history and literature, science and art. Students in the program take four core courses that examine Catholic culture and thought from ancient times until today, in addition to an array of electives, including courses such as Philosophy of Religion, Natural Law and Natural Rights, Virtues and Morality, and more. This combination provides a framework for the student to ground their professional pursuits—in law, education, business, communications, the arts, or elsewhere—in the Catholic vision of reality. The Master of Arts in Catholic Studies helps individuals cultivate the true, the good, and the beautiful through their work in the wider culture.
