For more than forty years, the Department
of Theology has offered M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, and now the new Master of Arts in Christian Doctrine (M.A.C.D.) has been added.
Marquette has traditionally offered an integrated
graduate education in theology, providing every student background
and methodological training in biblical, historical, and systematics/ethics
as well as an in-depth specialization in one of the three. The
M.A. and Ph.D. programs seek to develop scholars who can make
significant contributions to theological research and writing,
and college teachers who can teach a broad range of courses to
undergraduate students. Because of its classically structured
education, Marquette has enjoyed great success in placing doctoral
graduates in teaching positions in over 200 colleges and universities,
in church work and ministry, and in a variety of other educationally
related occupations. The M.A.C.D. program focuses on an ecumenical
appropriation and communication of Christian doctrine for theology
teachers in Catholic high schools, for teachers in other religious
education or formation programs, and for persons interested either
simply in theological enrichment or in serving various other needs
in their religious communities.

The Department of Theology also has an MA-level degree offered in conjunction with the University's Trinity Fellows Program, a 21-month work/study graduate fellowship program. To be eligible, applicants need to have completed service in the Peace Corps, Jesuit Volunteer Corps, Americorps or other comparable post baccalaureate full-time volunteer service organization. For further information, go to www.marquette.edu/trinityfellows or view the Trinity Fellows Program Student Information Sheet.
We urge you, too, to consider visiting the University, our Department, and Milwaukee as you make the vital decisions regarding your graduate education. If you contact us in advance, we will arrange for you to meet with a faculty member in your area of interest.
