Few graduate programs offer students so many opportunities to work closely with such a well-published and nationally known faculty. With more than 20 full-time graduate faculty members, the student-teacher ratio in the graduate programs provides outstanding advantages to students. Additionally, students follow courses of study that enable them to explore the connections between their chosen specializations and the tradition of theology as a whole, as well as connections to areas outside the traditional .field. of theology.
The Department of Theology at Loyola University Chicago has a truly enviable placement record. All of our doctoral students have found employment upon graduation in field-appropriate positions. Students secure academic and administrative positions at institutions of higher education and seminaries, consulting positions with well-known organizations, and receive fellowships for further study both in the United States and abroad.
Program Details
The Department of Theology offers both a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree program and a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree program. Specializations within each degree are available.
