Skills You will Gain
1. A deeper knowledge of Catholic doctrine and practice. Get to know not only what the Church teaches, but why. Explore the scriptural and historical foundations of Catholic thought and practice as well as the harmony between faith and reason.
2. Research and Sapiential thinking skills. As an M.A. student at AMU, you'll have multiple research papers that will challenge you to dig deeper into specific theological topics and see the Sapiential unity of Theology.
3. Practical ways of growing closer to God. Your ultimate goal in life is not your career (though that’s still important), but getting to heaven! By studying theology you’re learning more about God, the source of all love and joy!
