With nearly 50 courses, there are plenty of ways you can come to know God better. We especially recommend our nine-course, core curriculum. Modeled after our Graduate School of Theology curriculum, it focuses on three main areas of study—Scripture, doctrine, and the Christian life. When you complete this core curriculum, you will earn a Certificate in Catholic Theology.
