Graduate-Pastoral Ministry
Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry
The graduate program in pastoral ministry is designed to prepare men and women for service to the Catholic Church and its parish and school communities. Centered in a commitment to adult faith formation, the program welcomes individuals, who feel called to deepen their faith and to acquire the knowledge and skills essential for leaders in the pastoral life of faith communities. Because it is designed to integrate the academic, human, and spiritual dimensions of faith formation, the pastoral ministry program seeks to provide students with the theological and spiritual backgrounds that are foundational to pastoral ministry.
A critical component of this master's program is the formation of a community of learners within a coherent and developmental model of education. In academics, this model enables students to progress through a degree program together and enhances not only the educational and spiritual aspects of the program, but also reinforces a sense of community among adult learners. To earn a master's degree, students must complete eight courses in foundational theology, two courses in spiritual formation, and three courses in pastoral skills, including a pastoral project in the student's chosen area of ministry.

Foundational Theology
God and the Human Person
Perspectives on the Hebrew Scriptures
