Earn a Certificate in Theology from St. Mary’s University

The academic study of theology at St. Mary’s University covers the history of Scriptural interpretation, the development of Christian teachings, and practical aspects of Catholic social teaching and Christian ethics. Through this program, we foster critical reflection on the Catholic faith and work that is open to ecumenism and inter-faith dialogue.

The Graduate Certificate in Theology is designed for students who are considering graduate work in theology but who do not wish to pursue a 36-hour master’s program.

The courses are offered virtually to those who live outside Bexar County. Those who live within Bexar County should plan to attend classes in-person.
