"Immaculata University's Theology program truly expresses St. Anselm's definition of theology, 'faith seeking understanding,' as it prepared me to engage in critical analyses, dialogue and reflections regarding the past and present. IU's theology program is operated by a team of expert faculty, and each professor is eager to know you and to provide time for you outside of the classroom. One professor encouraged me to continue my education in theology during a personalized check-up meeting in her office. Another professor told me about Villanova University's graduate theology programs when I asked for her counsel on graduate school. All throughout the application process, the theology faculty supported me in whatever I needed. Because of the IU theology program's dedication to nourishing both the mind and soul, I was well-equipped to start the M.A. in Theology program at Villanova!"

Majoring in theology can prepare you for a variety of professional paths. Some graduates pursue teaching careers in Catholic schools or engage in religious ministry. Others pursue graduate work in theology or a related academic field. Still others pursue work as directors of religious education, campus ministers, coordinators of youth ministry, or pastoral administrators or associates.
Some students choose theology as a supplementary major, because theology’s focus on the central questions of human existence complements and extends their commitment to their first major in science, psychology, business, or some other field. Professional schools increasingly appreciate how such a balanced preparation enhances a candidate’s profile.
