We offer a Five-Year Bachelor/Master's degree program which is open to especially
qualified undergraduate students. This program permits the completion of the
required courses for the Bachelor of Arts in Theology and Religious Studies and for the
Master of Arts in Theology in an accelerated timeframe of ten regular semesters plus a summer of coursework.
This timeframe requires using 3
graduate courses in Theology in place of undergraduate courses to satisfy the requirements for elective courses in Theology and Religious Studies.
Program Requirements
Obtaining Both Degrees
You receive the
Bachelor of Arts in Theology and Religious Studies after completing the
bachelor's requirements(normally four years).

graduate courses in Theology in their senior years with the approval of the Graduate Program Director;
