The Master of Arts in Theology and Catechetics from Catholic International University is distinguished by its deep rootedness in the life and teaching authority of the Catholic Church. Rather than approaching theology as a purely academic or comparative discipline, the program is intentionally formed from within the Church’s living tradition, drawing on Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the authoritative guidance of the Magisterium. Its curriculum emphasizes fidelity to doctrinal truth, ensuring that students are formed not only intellectually but ecclesiastically prepared to think, teach, and serve in full communion with the Church.
