Theology as a co-major This program is designed to accommodate the growing number of students who are majoring in a discipline other than Theology but whose interest in religious and theological questions leads them to take a number of courses offered in the Theology curriculum. Such students will be able to take a programmed sequence of courses which will lead to the designation co-major in Theology. Students preparing to teach on either the elementary or secondary levels may be particularly interested in Theology as a co-major as an area of possible second endorsement. The Theology major at Creighton is prepared for further study and various careers.
Some graduates go on for master's or doctoral programs in theology or related fields.
