Welcome to Duquesne's Department of Theology! We offer undergraduate, master's and doctoral programs in theology, as well as graduate programs in pastoral ministry and religious education.

A Catholic university offers a unique opportunity for religious faith and contemporary culture to enter into conversation. Catholic theology has been pursuing difficult questions for nearly twenty centuries and has acquired much wisdom about what resources are dependable, what answers are too easy, what questions need to be addressed. It is a living discipline rooted in the life of the church and one which brings new insights as well as old. In our Department of Theology, the conversation between faith and culture becomes intellectually alive as students and teachers engage scripture, tradition, experience, and contemporary thought in search of understanding.

Undergraduate students in Core Theology get a taste of that search and its methods. If an undergraduate student wishes, he or she can go deeper in a Major or a Minor in Theology.

Our master's and doctoral programs help to form religious educators, pastoral ministers, teachers, and writers. Students from many different churches and parts of the world come here to study theology, knowing that their own search will benefit from the riches of Catholic theology and rigorous critical inquiry in a setting where we understand that religious questions are real and important, both for you and for the world.
