Theology
Available as a concentration
By examining the historical development of Christian beliefs through contemporary times, you'll build an understanding of Christianity's place at the crossroads of religion, politics and culture.
Our program focuses on big theological questions raised by the Christian tradition. Who is God? What is the significance of Jesus? What does it mean to be a human being? What is the best kind of life to live? What do we owe the world we live in?

Understanding the way Christianity interacts with the contemporary world is crucial not only for those interested in ministry, but also for those pursuing careers as diverse as public policy, foreign service, counseling, media and the law. Studies in Greek, Hebrew, Latin, German and French help you to get to the root of original Christian writings, as well as to interpret firsthand major Christian theologians.
