Master of Arts in Theology
sacred scripture concentration

More than a mere book, the Bible is a virtual library of texts dating from the earliest recorded history to the century following Christ's death. Students in this concentration will study the sacred texts and their relationship to other disciplines such as archeology, history, theology, and hermeneutics. This program emphasizes both an accurate reading of texts based on the best scholarship and the Bible's position as a living document in the Catholic tradition.

Students interested in the Sacred Scripture concentration will take 15 credit hours in their concentration area and 5 elective credits in any graduate level course and/or seminar course. View a complete list of all graduate courses offered at CDU.

Before selecting a concentration, students will need to get approval from a faculty advisor. Usually, they should have completed more than half of the core curriculum before declaring a concentration. This selection process should begin with an email to Carol Ciullo at cciullo@cdu.edu who will monitor the process and counsel students throughout the program. Towards the end of their program, students should contact the graduate registrar at gradregistrar@cdu.edu to arrange for approval of a thesis proposal and supervision of the written paper by a faculty advisor.
