Theology majors who also obtain certification in education are in particular demand. At the present time, Nebraska is the only state that allows students to earn an endorsement to teach religion at the secondary level. Some of our majors move into education after completing their degrees, especially by joining the Magis Catholic Teacher Corps.
Applied Ethics Minor
The applied ethics minor is an interdisciplinary program of studies designed to provide students with an understanding of applied ethics from two perspectives: philosophy and theology. The minor introduces students to the differences and similarities in philosophical and theological approaches to applied ethics, different theories of ethics in these two disciplines and how to relate the two.
Biblical Studies Minor
The biblical studies minor examines historical, social and literary contexts of the biblical texts and their use in theological traditions. Students will explore the Old and New Testaments using the techniques of modern, historical criticism.
Christian Life Studies Minor
The minor in Christian life studies offers students an opportunity to explore the practical ways in which Christians “grow in the image and likeness of God,” as that question has been addressed within the disciplines of Christian ethics and/or Christian spirituality. In Christian ethics, students investigate the basic principles, values and practices that ground an authentic moral life.
Theology Minor
The minor in theology will introduce you to the basic principles and methods of theology. Depending on your interests, you can then apply those principles and methods to specific topics or areas of study in historical or contemporary theology.
