As God’s people, we are called to serve. Whether you are seeking spiritual and leadership development, a career in ministry, or advanced theological education, Saint Leo's Master of Arts in Theology offers a flexible adult learning model for nontraditional graduate students, lay ministers and candidates to the diaconate.
As Florida’s oldest Catholic institution of higher education, Saint Leo has centuries-old roots in the Benedictine tradition. Holding students to high standards of ethics and academic excellence, Theology faculty guide you to a plan that best suits your individual goals, talents and needs—at any stage in your career.
The 36-credit hour Theology program explores:
Our highly qualified and gifted faculty—including clergy, and experts in the Second Vatican Council, Ignatian Spirituality and the Catholic-Jewish dialogue—use a variety of instructional delivery methods, blending onsite lectures, online discussion and video conferencing.
On-ground classes are held one Saturday per month.
Although we teach theology from the perspective of the Catholic Christian Tradition, we are an ecumenical community in which diverse perspectives share openly in the learning process. You may come to the program with different beliefs and objectives from your classmates, or perhaps without a background in academic theology—and you will leave spiritually enriched, and with a critical knowledge of biblical, systematic, historical, pastoral and moral theology.
