Our Five-Year Bachelor/Master's degree program is open to especially
qualified undergraduate
students. It permits you to complete the BA in Theology and Religious Studies and the MA in Theology in an
accelerated timeframe of only five years.
You will receive the BA in Theology and Religious Studies at the end of your Senior year;
transfer to graduate status in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the end of your Senior year; and receive the MA in Theology upon completion of all graduate program requirements at the end of your fifth year of studies!
The Financial Advantage
The expenses for your first three graduate courses are covered by your undergraduate tuition.
For your last three graduate courses, the Dean of Graduate Studies awards you tuition remission.
Thus, you are responsible for paying for six graduate courses.
This timeframe requires taking ...
- up to four graduate courses in your Junior and Senior years. Three graduate
courses replace three undergraduate elective courses and count toward both
degrees.
- the graduate Proseminar in the fall semester of your Senior year.
- six graduate courses in the fall and spring semesters of your fifth year of
studies.
- two graduate courses in one or two summer semesters (before/after the fifth
year).
- the Foreign Language Examination and
Comprehensive Examinations for the
Master's program during the fifth year.
This course distribution permits you to graduate at the end of the spring semester of the fifth year of studies. However, with the help of your academic advisor you may also develop a different course distribution.
