The
Department of Theology functions within the University to investigate
and understand the Catholic tradition, its relation to other Christian
communions, and to other religions of the world. The Department
of Theology is a community of scholars responsible for teaching,
conducting research, and serving the theological needs of the
wider community outside of Marquette. It aims, in particular,
to help educate undergraduates by bringing them to an understanding
of their respective faith commitments and traditions in harmony
with their overall intellectual, critical, and cultural development.
The undergraduate program also incorporates into Catholic Theology
an ecumenical dimension which was made normative by the Second
Vatican Council, and which is regarded by the Department as an
essential service to the church and the world. It also seeks to
explore with students the relationship between faith and justice,
in accordance with the recent General Congregations of the Society
of Jesus.
The Department offers a fine undergraduate
program in Theology, both as part of the University's
core curriculum, and its own program for majors and minors
in theology. Please follow the links to the left to find further
information about the Theology major or minor; if you wish to
see all the undergraduate courses currently offered by the Department,
there's a link for that, too.
