They are encouraged to develop an educational philosophy and curriculum responsive to students' changing needs. Graduates meet the requirements for a supervisor's certificate for grades K-12 and may take additional courses for certification as a high school or elementary principal, assistant superintendent, or superintendent. MA Philosophy Franciscan University's MA in Philosophy is firmly rooted in the Western philosophical tradition, but at the same time it takes very seriously all that has happened in modern and contemporary philosophy. Our program has chosen to emphasize the philosophy of the human person and the issues of personalist ethics. The Master's in Theology and Christian Ministry is rooted in Sacred Scripture, tradition, and magisterial teaching.
Students apply their minds to the faith to understand what they believe and why they believe it.
As this understanding takes root in the mind and the spirit, students experience a resurgence of growth and vitality in their own faith. With this unique blend of scholarship and dynamic spiritual life, graduates of the program are prepared to bring the light of Christ and Church teaching to their work as DREs, youth ministers, religion teachers, catechists, campus ministers, and pastoral coordinators. The program also serves as an excellent foundation for PhD or STD studies.
