    Catholic Theology

    About

    The Department of Theological Studies at Saint Louis University offers core graduate coursework designed to support the Bishops' Curriculum Framework for high school religion teachers.

    The framework identifies six required (God/Trinity, Christ, Salvation, Ecclesiology, Sacraments, Christian Ethics) and five elective doctrinal loci (Bible, Church History, Catholic Social Teaching, Christian Vocations, and Ecumenical/Interreligious Dialogue).

    Catholic educators interested in becoming certified as high school religion teachers, adult religious education coordinators, or directors of religious education can take the required theology and/or education credit hours to meet the certification standards set by their home diocese. 

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Send transcripts of all secondary work.

    Find out from your admission counselor what secondary credentials are required. We’ll evaluate how you’ve done in school up to this point, so please send all transcripts for secondary work, along with their English language translations.

    Submit proof of your English language proficiency.

    These are scores from any standardized test you may have taken to prepare for college — TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, SAT, ACT or Duolingo score. All of our international applicants are required to demonstrate their English proficiency, and these tests can help us make that determination.

    If you do not meet SLU’s direct entry requirements, we encourage you to apply to the Pathway or English Language programs offered by INTO Saint Louis University.
