In our Master's in Theology Program, students and faculty together investigate the resources of the Christian tradition and of contemporary culture to serve the world and the Church. We pursue the academic study of theology in dialogue with the questions raised by contemporary culture and the continuous experience of human life.

Have you recently completed an undergraduate or graduate degree? Are you a working professional who is interested in changing careers? Did you major in a non-theological field of study? Do you value the academic study of theology? We welcome men and women of all ages, and with diverse educational and professional backgrounds, to study with us (see Who our students are).
Are you interested in studying full-time or part-time? Do you seek a master’s degree, or would you simply like to refresh your theological knowledge and enrich your personal and intellectual life in the midst of likeminded men and women? We design our program to meet the interests of our students and the needs of our culture (see What we offer).
Are you curious about contemplating questions raised by modern culture and by the continuing challenges of human life in light of the Catholic theological tradition? advancing academic ways of understanding Christian belief and practice?

At Villanova, you will experience an interdisciplinary, Augustinian approach to the development and acquisition of critical knowledge in theology (see our Augustinian tradition).

Do you seek to reflect critically upon the life of faith? embark on what Augustine calls the restless search for wisdom? Our distinguished graduate faculty offers courses that engage your mind and deepen your Christian life (see our program goals).
Do your professional plans include secondary school education or ministerial leadership? doctoral study? a career in other fields or a career change? Our program enriches the interpersonal, intellectual, and pastoral qualities of all students and offers courses that support your choices.
