MA Theology Students

Now more than ever, lay ministers need to be equipped with the theological foundations that will make it possible to effectively engage youth as they develop a relationship with Jesus Christ within a meaningful, sustained faith. Join youth ministers, directors of religious education, Catholic school teachers, and pastoral ministers as part of the YTM adult mentor cohort. Adult mentors complete a Master of Arts Degree in Ministry in four years of part time graduate theological study that includes mentoring high school youth in leadership. Special scholarships provided for those accepted into the program.
