Course of Study
The course of study in the Graduate School of Theology leads to the Master of Arts degree in Theology; it is available on our campus in Denver or via distance education. The program consists of three pillars:
Sacred Scripture
Students learn to express the narrative of salvation history, explain the biblical foundations of Catholic doctrine, interpret the texts in light of tradition, and substantiate the reliability of Sacred Scripture.
Sacred Doctrine
Each of our students develops a foundational knowledge of the Catholic Church’s dogmatic, sacramental, moral, and spiritual teaching as exemplified by the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
History and Mission
Students come to grasp the main themes of Church history, particularly in the West, with special emphasis on evangelization and on the saints and martyrs as teachers and models.

Course Calendar
The majority of our online courses are filmed live to our on-campus students and delivered asynchronously to our distance education students worldwide.
This means that our distance students have the flexibility to view lectures whenever convenient to them throughout their week, while staying on the same week-to-week semester schedule as on-campus students.
On-campus students attend lectures between
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM.
