EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Course Audit and Postdoctoral Audit

Certain courses offered each semester are open to those who wish to enroll as special students for the purpose of auditing. Without being obliged to complete the specific course requirements, students are allowed to participate in order to pursue their lifelong learning in those disciplines of interest. Post-doctoral audit is a privilege that may be extended under certain circumstances by the Dean of the School.

Workshops

The School of Theology and Religious Studies sponsors workshops on timely issues. Concerned with diocesan and parochial problems, these workshops provide an opportunity to reflect on their mission together with the faculty and the participants. Information on any of the continuing education programs is available from the School of Theology and Religious Studies, The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C. 20064.

OTHER EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

The academic fields of the School of Theology and Religious Studies, through the research and professional degree programs they offer, are intended to make significant contributions to the Church. Insofar as these very disciplines are related to the ever present pastoral needs of the Church, the school provides a variety of programs to ensure the essential dialogue between those who do research and those who are most affected by it. The recent societal interest in continuing education has revolutionized the educational opportunities available to those involved in pastoral ministry. The School of Theology and Religious Studies is committed to serving the Church by offering a variety of continuing educational programs.

PROGRAM OF HISPANIC PASTORAL LEADERSHIP/

PROGRAMA DE LIDERATO PASTORAL HISPANO

Courses are offered in Spanish in three areas: biblical, theological/historical, and liturgical/pastoral. Each course is designed as a self-contained unit that can be taken for one undergraduate credit through Metropolitan College of The Catholic University of America or as part of a program of 12 courses leading to a certificate granted by The Catholic University of America; an advanced certificate is granted on the completion of 10 additional courses.
