Theology and Ministry Theology, at its best, connects with everyday life. La Salle's Master of Arts in Theological Studies, Pastoral Ministry and Liturgical Practice provides a solid theological education, preparing students for lay ministry in the church, as well as providing a foundation for more advanced studies. But more importantly, it strives to teach tomorrow's religious leaders how to speak credibly about faith in the contemporary world. Roman Catholic in its orientation, the program seeks to foster a truly ecumenical spirit with a faculty and student body representing various Christian churches and faith traditions. Methodologically, our programs follow the centuries-old university tradition of education that is open to the diversity of events, ideas, and the physical as well as social sciences and technologies that shape our world today. The core faculty is made up of skilled teachers from various fields of religious expertise who support La Salle's mission to advance knowledge and promote professional development. The theological track concentrates on research and the systematic study of biblical, dogmatic and spiritual theology. The pastoral ministry track prepares graduates for work in the fields of religious education, youth ministry and pastoral care. The liturgical studies track prepares its graduates for work in parish and diocesan ministry in the Roman Catholic Church, as well as for further study of the liturgical practices of other Christian churches. A Post-Master's Certificate in Pastoral Counseling is offered for applicants possessing a degree in Counseling Psychology or Counseling Social Work. All of the programs empower students to investigate the historical, religious, theological and pastoral traditions, establish a dialogue with the contemporary world, and use the resulting insights and skills to respond, in faith, to the fears, struggles, aspirations and achievements of contemporary men and women.
