  • The S.T.B. degree provides the student with the opportunity to attain well rounded theological education and competency. This graduate degree represents a wide variety of disciplines that constitute the theological tradition, including scriptural, historical, systematic, moral, liturgical, and canonical disciplines. The student would generally then proceed to the Licentiate or specialization in a particular field.
