Master of Theology Degree Program
Associate DirectorKirk P. Gaddy, Ed.D.
The Master of Theology Program (Th.M.) is the only holistic graduate theology
program in pastoral ministry taught from a
Black Catholic perspective in the USA. The Th.M.
degree offers academic courses that focus on Black
approaches, critiques, and contributions to
systematic and pastoral theologies, preaching,
youth and pastoral ministry, aesthetics,
philosophy, education and catechetics. The Th.M.
program prepares those students who seek a
holistic, interdisciplinary Black Catholic theological
program to serve as theologically and
competent ordained, religious, or lay ecclesial
ministers in the Black community. The Th.M.
degree programs also serve as a reservoir for graduate students and
ministers who desire to expand, enhance
and enrich their general theological studies by exploring the Catholic
theological tradition and its particular meaning for social and spiritual
experiences of Black people in the U.S. and the
broader Pan African world.2018
