What Is Theological Studies?
LMU’s Theological Studies major provides students the opportunity to reflect on personal religious experience and the chance to explore a particular religious tradition. In the process, students learn how to analyze texts, think and write critically, and integrate reason and faith. The Department of Theological Studies is committed to the encouragement of learning within the intellectual and cultural heritage of the Catholic tradition. This heritage values imagination and intellect, seeks an integration of knowledge, and promotes ecumenical and interreligious discourse. Theological Studies seeks to educate the whole person and to serve faith by an academic exploration of its possibilities, challenges, and ambiguities in dialogue with the contemporary world.
