Collegeville Core

Saint John’s School of Theology and Seminary features a “Collegeville Core” in nearly every degree program.  The core ensures that students graduate with a readiness to think critically, constructively, and appreciatively about the Christian theological tradition as they move into service as scholars and ministers.  

This Collegeville Core spans the breadth of the Christian tradition, preparing students through coursework in the History of Christianity, Systematic Theology, Moral Theology, Sacred Scripture, Liturgy, and Monastic Studies. The interplay among these disciplinary areas at the heart of our curriculum generates a distinctive learning environment.  In a special way, it places students from diverse degree programs — MDiv, MTS , MAT, and MAM — into shared conversation and learning that enriches students across professional interests.
