COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS
Theology plays a vital role in the search for a synthesis of knowledge and in the dialogue between faith and reason.
It serves all other disciplines in their search for meaning, not only by helping them to investigate how their discoveries will affect individuals and society, but also by bringing a perspective and an orientation not contained within their own methodologies (Ex Corde Ecclesiae §19). When you choose to study theology at Benedictine University, you become part of the Catholic Benedictine tradition of a broad liberal arts education founded on a clear understanding of the relationship between faith and reason. You receive personal guidance from distinguished faculty dedicated to helping you flourish as an intellectual, a professional and a world citizen.
Benedictine’s theology program relates theology to politics, economics, education and science. The knowledge, skills and values it cultivates furnish graduates with a wide array of career options.
The program’s curriculum fosters interreligious dialogue on a campus distinguished by its great diversity of faith traditions.
Students undertake in-depth studies in subject areas such as Benedictine wisdom, business ethics, Jesus Christ, the history of Christian thought and Catholic social teaching.
